About this role
We are looking for a Cover Supervisor - Teaching to join our team here at Stanground Academy!
32.5 hours per week ( 08:00 - 15:00)
Are you confident, organised and passionate about supporting young people to succeed? As a Cover Supervisor, you’ll play a vital role in keeping learning on track by stepping into the classroom when teachers are absent. You’ll supervise pre‑planned lessons, create a positive and calm learning environment, and manage behaviour so pupils stay engaged and focused.

If you enjoy variety, responsibility and making a real difference to students’ everyday school experience, this is a rewarding opportunity to be part of a supportive and forward‑thinking school community.
About us:
