Cover Supervisors needed throughout West Yorkshire

Veritas Education are recruiting a number of Cover Supervisors for Secondary Schools throughout KIRKLEES.

You need to be a strong character for this role to manage the classroom behaviour.

Cover supervisors were originally introduced as a way of maintaining teacher's non contact periods but have become a permanent fixture in schools. It can be a rewarding job and a useful way of getting experience in the classroom for those with teaching ambitions.

The daily pay rate will be between GBP50 & GBP80 per day depending on your experience.

Cover Supervisors are usually in school during normal school hours, but because there isn't a need to plan/mark there's rarely the need to stay after school.

The cover supervisor's main job is to manage a classroom, ensuring that students remain on task with the work they have been set. Curiously, cover supervisors are often defined by what they don't do So, usually, cover supervisors:

• Don't plan
• Don't have subject knowledge
• Don't mark work
• Don't set homework
• Don't differentiate
• Don't set targets

However many of our cover supervisors report doing the following duties:

• Teaching grammar
• Managing behaviour
• Discussing and debating texts with pupils and answering questions
• Differentiating and allocating extension exercises.

Veritas Education requires our Cover Supervisors to have an honours degree or equivalent as a minimum educational requirement and to have experience of working with young people.

The following are desirable:

• Highly adaptable as there is no a regular timetable
• Have a thick skin
• Behaviour management skills
• Be diplomatic

Everyday is different and its an excellent way to get into working in a school environment. Many of our Cover Supervisors go on to train as Teachers. As the majority of work is on a Day to Day basis, it can be very flexible and we see many Cover Supervisors working Part Time to suit themselves.

Because the work is usually on a day to day basis, its hard to guarantee work. There are usually a number of quiet periods throughout the school year, mainly at the end and beginning of a new term.

If you're interested in working as a Cover Supervisor with Veritas Education and have a degree along with experience of working with children then please contact the Secondary Team.
