Start Date: Immediate

Are you confident, professional, and looking for a rewarding role in education without the full responsibility of teaching?

Supply Desk is currently recruiting Cover Supervisors to work in secondary schools across Watford and surrounding areas, including Bushey, Rickmansworth, Abbots Langley, and Kings Langley. This is an ideal opportunity for graduates, aspiring teachers, or individuals with experience working with young people who want to step into the classroom and make a real impact.

• Supervising a class of pupils in the absence of their regular teacher

• Delivering pre-set lesson materials and ensuring pupils remain focused and engaged

• Managing behaviour effectively and following each school’s behaviour policy

• Taking the register and maintaining a safe and orderly classroom environment

• Reporting back to teaching staff on behaviour, participation, and any issues

• Responding to basic student questions and offering general classroom support

You will be working across a range of subjects and schools – every day brings something new!

• Experience working with young people – in schools, youth work, sports coaching, tutoring, etc.

• Confidence in leading a classroom and maintaining control in a professional manner

• Good communication skills and a calm, positive approach

• Flexibility and reliability – essential for cover roles!

• A current enhanced DBS on the update service (or willingness to obtain one)

• Willingness to travel to schools across Watford and surrounding areas

Ideal for:

• Graduates or career changers interested in education

• Future teachers looking to gain classroom experience

• Teaching Assistants looking to step up into a classroom leadership role

• Flexible work – choose when and where you work

• Opportunities in a variety of local secondary schools

• Your own dedicated consultant to guide and support you

• Ongoing training and professional development

• Competitive daily rates

• Potential to move into teaching assistant or teacher training roles in the future
