The Role

As a Cover Supervisor, you will:

• Supervise classes during the short-term absence of the class teacher
• Deliver pre-prepared work to students across a range of subjects
• Maintain a positive learning environment and ensure classroom routines are upheld
• Promote positive behaviour and support pupils in line with school policies
• Provide feedback to teaching staff at the end of each lesson

Requirements

To be considered, you will need:

• Experience working with young people (ages 11-16)
• Strong communication and behaviour management skills
• A confident, adaptable, and professional approach
• Eligibility to work in the UK
• A valid DBS on the update service-or willingness to apply for one through Veritas Education

Why Work with Veritas Education?

• Daily, short‑term and longer‑term bookings to suit your availability
• Opportunities to experience a range of school settings
• Competitive pay rates, paid weekly
• Full support from a dedicated local consultant
• Free CPD and training opportunities

If you're enthusiastic, committed, and looking to make a positive impact in secondary schools across Wakefield, we'd love to hear from you.
