Secondary Cover Supervisor - High-Achieving School in Barrow-in-Furness
Are you a confident, adaptable individual looking for a classroom-based role without the pressure of planning and grading?
Tradewind Recruitment is looking for a resilient and engaging Cover Supervisor to join a dynamic secondary school in the Barrow-in-Furness area. This is a full-time, long-term position (Monday to Friday) perfect for those looking to build their experience in secondary education or career changers seeking a new challenge.
The Role
As a Cover Supervisor, your primary responsibility is to oversee classes across various subjects during the short-term absence of permanent teachers. You won't be expected to teach the curriculum from scratch; instead, you will:
Deliver pre-set work left by the department to ensure learning continues.
Manage classroom behavior effectively, maintaining a focused and safe environment.
Support pupils with their tasks and answer any general queries.
Ensure the school's behavior policy is followed consistently.
What's on Offer?
Pay: Competitive rates from £105 - £160 per day (based on experience and scale).
Schedule: Full-time, Monday - Friday (approx. 8:30 am - 3:30 pm).
Setting: A well-regarded secondary school with a supportive staff body and excellent facilities.
Career Growth: An ideal stepping stone for those considering a PGCE or future teaching career.
What We Are Looking For:
A degree (in any subject) or significant experience working with groups of teenagers (e.g., coaching, youth work, or military background).
Confidence and presence: The ability to command a classroom and engage with pupils aged 11-16.
Excellent communication skills and the ability to adapt to different subject areas quickly.
A reliable, punctual, and professional approach to work.
