Are you a confident, proactive individual looking to build your experience in education with long-term stability?

We are working in partnership with several secondary schools across Northampton who are seeking long-term Cover Supervisors to join their teams for the 2025/26 academic year. These full-time roles offer consistency, classroom responsibility, and a fantastic opportunity to be fully embedded within a school community.

Ideal for graduates, aspiring teachers, or experienced classroom staff, this is a perfect stepping stone into a teaching career-or a rewarding long-term role in its own right.

The Role:

  • Provide full-time cover for teacher absences across multiple subjects (lessons pre-planned)

  • Supervise students in the classroom, ensuring work is completed and behaviour remains positive

  • Build strong working relationships with staff and pupils over the course of the term/year

  • Contribute to the daily life of the school - including duties, meetings, and events where appropriate

  • Be a consistent presence for pupils who benefit from stability and structure

Who We're Looking For:

  • Confident individuals with experience working with young people (in education, sports, or youth settings)

  • Graduates considering teacher training, or experienced Cover Supervisors/Teaching Assistants

  • Someone who enjoys working with secondary-age students and can engage across the curriculum

  • Strong behaviour management skills and a calm, professional approach

  • Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply)

What You'll Gain:

  • A full-time, long-term position with consistency and structure

  • Classroom-based experience that supports progression into teaching or education roles

  • Competitive weekly pay and professional support throughout your placement

  • Access to over 2,500 accredited CPD courses via The National College

  • A chance to make a lasting impact in a Northampton secondary school

If you're ready to step into a more stable and rewarding classroom role, we'd love to hear from you.
