Trainee Cover Supervisor

Vision for Education - Cornwall; Cambridgeshire and Peterborough; On-site; GBP 40,000 - 60,000; Full time

Job description

About the Role - Trainee Cover Supervisor
Upon completion of your training, as a Cover Supervisor, you will take charge of lessons for approximately 30 students when the class teacher is absent. You will provide coverage for a wide variety of secondary school subjects, and rest assured, subject expertise is not required. Lesson plans will always be provided in advance, and your role will focus on guiding students through the lesson, maintaining classroom discipline, keeping accurate attendance records, and ensuring a smooth handover to the regular teacher. Ideal candidates for this role are flexible, motivated, organized, confident, and passionate about supporting students' educational journeys.

This position presents an excellent opportunity to gain firsthand experience in a secondary school setting. While prior experience in a school is a plus, it is not essential. It is also a fantastic option for degree holders who are keen to break into the education sector without previous school experience.

If you are new to this role, we offer an extensive training program designed to equip you with the skills and confidence to excel.

About the Schools
We partner with a range of secondary schools in the Cornwall area. Successful candidates will cover lessons across Key Stage 3 (KS3), Key Stage 4 (KS4), and occasionally Key Stage 5 (KS5). While your assignments may align with subjects you're passionate about, you may also be asked to step in for more general lessons.

Requirements
To apply for the Trainee Cover Supervisor position, you should:

• Be a confident leader with the ability to manage a classroom in the absence of the teacher.
• Possess a strong passion for education and supporting students.
• Be willing to undergo an enhanced DBS check.
• Hold a degree (or equivalent) qualification.

Vision for Education is committed to the safeguarding and well-being of children, young people, and vulnerable adults. As part of our commitment, all staff will undergo a thorough interview and reference check and must have, or be willing to obtain, an enhanced DBS check that is registered on the Update Service.

About Vision for Education
Vision for Education is a leading recruitment agency specializing in the education sector. With a national presence, we focus on providing top-quality teaching and support staff to schools, including primary, secondary, and SEND settings.

Salary

As a valued member of the Vision for Education team, you will receive:

• Competitive daily rates paid weekly through our in-house payroll system (PAYE).
• A guaranteed pay scheme (subject to availability and qualifying criteria).
• Pension contributions (subject to qualifying period).
• Full compliance with AWR (Agency Workers Regulations) to ensure fair pay and working conditions.
• Access to free professional development opportunities, including Team Teach training, webinars, and safeguarding updates.
