Cover Supervisor – Future Teacher Programme

📍 South Yorkshire & Derbyshire | 💷 £20,000–£24,000 | 🗓 Start ASAP

Thinking about becoming a teacher? This role could be the perfect stepping stone.

We’re working with a number of fantastic secondary schools across South Yorkshire and Derbyshire who are welcoming graduates ready to dip their toe into teaching life. As a Cover Supervisor, you’ll take the reins in the classroom—delivering pre-set lessons, keeping students engaged, and managing behaviour with calm confidence.

No planning. No marking. Just you, leading learning in a structured and supportive environment.

What you’ll be doing:

Supervising whole classes across a range of subjects
Delivering pre-prepared lessons (no planning required!)
Managing behaviour positively and professionally
Gaining invaluable classroom experience

Why schools love this programme:

Schools see you as a future teacher—and they’ll back you accordingly. Expect hands-on support, training in behaviour management, and the chance to gain experience in your specialist subject area if you have one.

You’ll be great if you:

Have some experience in a school setting or working with young people
Are confident speaking to groups and happy leading the room
Can stay cool under pressure and build quick rapport
Have a subject specialism (not essential, but a big plus!)
