Cover Supervisors - Secondary Schools - Cheshire East - September 2025 Start

Are you a confident and enthusiastic individual with a passion for working with young people? Are you considering a career in teaching or education and looking to gain valuable classroom experience? Tradewind Recruitment is currently seeking reliable and adaptable Cover Supervisors to work across a number of secondary schools in Cheshire East from September 2025.

This is a fantastic opportunity for graduates, aspiring teachers, or experienced support staff to step into a classroom-based role where you can make a real difference. Cover Supervisor work is ideal for those who are looking to gain experience in education before embarking on teacher training, or for individuals seeking flexible, term-time work in a rewarding school environment.

The Role:

As a Cover Supervisor, your main responsibilities will include:

  • Supervising whole classes during the short-term absence of the regular teacher.

  • Delivering pre-set lesson plans and ensuring pupils remain on task.

  • Managing classroom behaviour and maintaining a positive learning environment.

  • Responding to student questions where possible and reporting any issues to the appropriate staff.

  • Supporting the wider school community by assisting with break-time duties or administrative tasks when required.

The Ideal Candidate Will:

  • Have experience working with young people in a school or similar setting (e.g. coaching, tutoring, youth work).

  • Be confident managing behaviour and maintaining classroom control.

  • Possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills.

  • Be flexible, reliable and able to adapt to different school settings and year groups.

  • Be passionate about supporting students and contributing to a positive learning environment.

A degree is desirable, but not essential. Training and ongoing support will be provided by Tradewind Recruitment to ensure you feel confident stepping into the role.

What We Offer:

  • Flexible short-term and long-term roles to suit your availability.

  • Competitive daily pay, with the opportunity for progression.

  • Access to high-quality CPD through Tradewind's training platform.

  • The chance to work in a variety of secondary schools across Cheshire East, building strong experience and professional networks.

  • Support from a dedicated and experienced recruitment consultant.

Whether you're looking for regular work or occasional days to fit around your other commitments, Tradewind Recruitment can help you find the right opportunity to suit your needs.
