Graduate Cover Supervisor

Teaching Personnel are working with a coeducational school and sixth form located in Waterlooville, Hampshire, graded ‘GOOD’ by Ofsted.   The school offers a comprehensive education with a strong emphasis on academic excellence, moral development, and spiritual growth. The school fosters a welcoming and positive atmosphere, ensuring each student feels valued and supported. With a variety of extracurricular activities and a dedicated staff, students are encouraged to discover their talents and achieve their full potential. The institution is known for its commitment to creating a safe and nurturing environment where students can thrive both academically and personally.

The school are working with Teaching Personnel to build up a pool of cover supervisors to assist with daily cover needs within their secondary school.  As lessons are planned so thoroughly in the absence of usual class teachers, it is the preference of the school to cover leaves of absence with cover supervisors rather than fully qualified teachers.

This is a fantastic opportunity for educators with a range of experience to secure regular work with a local school, providing opportunity to familiarise yourself with staff and pupils of the school.  Working as a cover supervisor, you will be supervising classes during the absence of a teacher, providing short term cover, and helping the students with their learning assisted by well planned lessons for you to work with.  This is a great opportunity for graduates who are working towards a career in education, to gain school-based experience on a flexible basis.

The ideal candidate:

• A graduate seeking school-based experience before applying for a teacher training course.
• Sports coaches who are experienced in working with young people outside of a school environment.
• A person who may have experience within the military of prison services, working with challenging behaviour or vulnerable people.
• An educator who may have school-based experience but no QTS or teacher qualification.
• A teaching assistant or learning support assistant who is keen to further their experience.  Teaching Personnel can also support with this by putting you through our free online cover supervisor course.
