Considering a career in teaching and want to gain real classroom experience first?
Supply Teach is looking for confident and enthusiastic graduates to work as Cover Supervisors in secondary schools across Belper and the surrounding area.
This is a great opportunity to build hands-on school experience, develop your classroom management skills and find out whether teaching could be the right career for you — while being paid for the experience.
What does a Cover Supervisor do?
You’ll step into the classroom when a teacher is absent and ensure pupils can continue with work that has already been set.
You’ll be responsible for:
* Supervising classes across Key Stages 3 and 4
* Delivering pre-prepared work and instructions
* Managing classroom behaviour and maintaining a positive learning environment
* Supporting pupils to remain focused and engaged
* Following individual school policies and expectations
You don't need to be a qualified teacher and you won't be expected to plan lessons or mark work.
Who are we looking for?
This opportunity could be particularly suited to you if you are:
* A graduate considering teaching or a career in education
* Looking to gain experience before applying for teacher training
* Confident communicating with groups of young people
* Calm, adaptable and able to establish clear expectations
* Reliable and comfortable working in different school environments
Experience with young people is helpful but doesn't necessarily need to have been gained in a school. Experience through sports coaching, tutoring, youth work, mentoring, summer camps or similar settings can all be relevant.
Why work with Supply Teach?
Supply Teach is a local education recruitment agency working closely with schools across Derby and Derbyshire.
You'll have:
* Flexible work to fit around your availability
* Opportunities in local secondary schools
* A dedicated consultant who gets to know you and the type of work you're looking for
* Support as you build your classroom experience
* Opportunities for regular and longer-term placements
* Experience that can support a future application for teacher training
Whether you're looking for a few flexible days or want to build consistent school experience, we'll work with you to find opportunities that suit you.
Apply today and we'll be in touch to talk through the role, your experience and the opportunities currently available around Belper.
