Cover Supervisor – KS3 & KS4
Wolverhampton  September 2025 start
 
We are working with a number of secondary schools in the Wolverhampton area seeking reliable, adaptable, and confident Cover Supervisors to join their teams from September 2025. With both long-term and day-to-day roles available, this is a great opportunity for aspiring teachers, recent graduates, or experienced cover staff looking for flexible or consistent work.
 
Key Details

• Position: Cover Supervisor (KS3 & KS4)
• Location: Wolverhampton
• Start date: September 2025
• Contract: Long-term and day-to-day options
• Pay: £500 – £750 per week (depending on assignment and experience)

 
The Role
As a Cover Supervisor, you will be responsible for delivering pre-set work in the absence of the regular class teacher. You will manage classroom behaviour, ensure pupils remain on task, and provide feedback to teaching staff. While teaching experience is not essential, confidence in managing secondary-aged pupils and strong communication skills are vital. You’ll be covering a range of subjects across KS3 and KS4, so flexibility and a calm, professional approach are key.
 
The Candidate
We are looking for individuals who:

• Have experience working with young people (e.g. in schools, coaching, youth work or tutoring)
• Are confident managing behaviour in a classroom setting
• Have a degree or equivalent qualification (desirable but not essential)
• Are adaptable, punctual, and able to build positive rapport with students quickly
• Are considering a career in teaching or education

This is a great stepping stone for aspiring teachers or anyone looking to gain valuable school-based experience before pursuing further qualifications.
 
The School
Our partner schools in Wolverhampton are diverse, welcoming and well-resourced, with supportive staff teams and a clear focus on student achievement. Each offers a structured induction for new cover staff and an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a secondary school setting. Many schools offer further training and the potential to progress into permanent or teaching roles.
 
Due to the number of applications, only successful candidates will be contacted.
