🎨 Cover Supervisor – Bring Your Energy Into the Classroom
📍 Waltham Forest
🕒 Full-time | September 
📚 Secondary School

Are you someone who thrives on variety, enjoys working with young people, and isn’t afraid to think on your feet?

We’re working with a vibrant secondary school in Waltham Forest looking for a confident, creative Cover Supervisor to step into the classroom and keep learning moving when teachers are away.

This isn’t your typical desk job. One minute you could be supporting a Year 7 English class, the next guiding a lively KS4 group through set work. If you’re adaptable, engaging, and bring a positive presence, you’ll fit right in.


What you’ll be doing:

  • Supervising classes across KS3–KS4, ensuring students stay on task with pre-set work
  • Managing classroom behaviour using a calm, confident, and consistent approach
  • Creating a positive, engaging environment where students feel supported
  • Thinking creatively to keep students motivated and focused
  • Building strong relationships with staff and pupils alike

What we’re looking for:

  • A naturally creative and proactive personality
  • Strong behaviour management or confidence leading groups
  • Excellent communication skills and classroom presence
  • Experience working with young people, education experience is a bonus
  • Someone who’s adaptable, resilient, and enjoys a fast-paced environment

Why this role works:

  • Perfect for aspiring teachers, creatives, or graduates exploring education
  • A great way to build classroom experience in a supportive school
  • Every day is different, no two lessons are the same
  • Opportunity to make a genuine impact on students’ learning and confidence

If you’re ready to bring your personality into the classroom and make a real difference, we’d love to hear from you.
