Cover Supervisor - Grimsby

Cover Supervisor - Grimsby

We are seeking confident, reliable individuals to support secondary schools in maintaining continuity of learning during teacher absences. This role requires professionalism, clear communication, and the ability to manage a classroom environment effectively.

Working across a network of secondary schools, you will deliver pre-set lessons, ensure students remain engaged, and uphold school expectations. This is not a teaching role; instead, it focuses on supervision, behaviour management, and providing a consistent, supportive presence in the classroom.

Key responsibilities:

• Delivering pre-prepared lessons across a range of subjects
• Maintaining a focused and orderly classroom environment
• Managing behaviour in line with school policies
• Supporting students in completing assigned work

Who we're looking for:

We welcome applications from individuals with a range of backgrounds, particularly:

• Graduates considering a career in education who are looking to gain practical classroom experience
• Former or current support staff (e.g. teaching assistants, learning mentors) ready to take on more responsibility
• Youth workers, sports coaches, or community leaders with experience engaging and managing young people

What matters most is your ability to:

• Communicate clearly and confidently with young people
• Establish authority and maintain a calm, controlled environment
• Adapt quickly to different classrooms and school settings
• Approach behaviour management in a consistent and professional manner

Why consider this role:

• Valuable, hands-on experience in secondary school settings
• Flexible working arrangements to suit your availability
• Opportunity to build on existing experience with young people
• No lesson planning or marking responsibilities

Who this role would suit:
Individuals who are confident, organised, and comfortable leading a classroom. Whether you are exploring teaching as a career or building on existing experience working with young people, this role offers a practical and rewarding next step.
