Are you a skilled educator or tutor looking for flexible opportunities starting September 2025?
If you’re an experienced graduate, sports coach, or tutor seeking part-time, full-time, short-term, or long-term work, Teaching Personnel is here to support you. As the UK’s leading educational recruitment company, we work with over 90% of schools across Oldham and Greater Manchester, offering a wide range of roles tailored to fit your schedule.
The Role
Starting September 2025, as a cover supervisor, you will support schools during key periods such as short-term and long-term sickness, maternity cover, and ongoing staffing gaps. Most short-term cover assignments involve general classroom supervision, where you’ll be given pre-prepared work and expected to maintain strong behaviour management to help students complete their tasks. If you have subject expertise, we can also place you in roles covering lessons within your specialist area.
For those interested in longer-term positions, we offer temp-to-perm opportunities. After an initial 16-week placement through Teaching Personnel, you may be offered a permanent contract by the school, allowing both you and the school to assess the fit before committing.
We also provide cover supervisor training courses designed for individuals who are not qualified teachers or have limited classroom experience. This is a great chance to build confidence and gain valuable real-world teaching exposure, particularly if you’re considering pursuing a PGCE.
