Are you confident working with young people and looking for a rewarding role in education? Mana Education is recruiting Cover Supervisors for opportunities in Peterborough and surrounding areas.
Whether you're an experienced Cover Supervisor, a Teaching Assistant ready for more responsibility, or considering a career in teaching, we'd like to hear from you.
You don't need Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Relevant experience working with young people, clear communication and the confidence to manage a classroom are what matter.
What does a Cover Supervisor do?
You'll supervise classes during a teacher's absence, helping pupils stay focused and complete work prepared by the school. This is a classroom supervision role, with no requirement to plan lessons or mark work as a teacher.
Your responsibilities may include:
Explaining the set tasks and checking pupils understand instructions
Maintaining a calm, productive classroom
Managing behaviour in line with the school's policy
Encouraging participation and helping pupils stay on task
Taking registers and following school procedures
Collecting completed work and providing feedback to teaching staff
Reporting safeguarding or welfare concerns promptly
You may cover different subjects across KS3 and KS4, with sixth-form opportunities depending on the school. You don't need to be a specialist in every subject.
Who should apply?
We welcome applications from:
Experienced Cover Supervisors and classroom support staff
Teaching Assistants, LSAs and HLTAs looking to progress
Graduates considering teacher training
Sports coaches, youth workers, tutors and mentors with relevant experience
Applicants with experience supervising groups of young people
A degree or education qualification can be useful but isn't essential for every vacancy. We'll discuss your experience and match you to suitable roles.
What we're looking for
Confidence giving clear instructions to a group
A calm, consistent approach to behaviour
Reliability, adaptability and good organisation
The ability to build respectful relationships with pupils and staff
A commitment to safeguarding and supporting learning
