Are you looking for a flexible, cover supervisor role?

Teaching Personnel work alongside many schools across the area of Bury. The majority of our client schools require cover supervisors, also known as unqualified teachers, on a daily basis to help support absences, course cover and trips out etc. Due to an increased demand for supply staff and this being the busiest time of the year for supply work, our client school are hoping to recruit aspiring Cover Supervisors for a variety of support roles.

A Cover Supervisor role is perfect for individuals who are thinking of going in to teaching but require further experience prior to a teacher training programme. This role is also well suited to candidates whose circumstances can change on a daily basis and therefore, require flexible work.

  • Flexible, day-to-day work as a Cover Supervisor available in Secondary schools across Bury.
  • Earn up to GBP350 per week, depending on experience.
  • Deliver pre-planned lessons covering a teacher’s absence/sickness as an unqualified teacher.
  • Facilitate learning across varying levels of ability within specific subjects.
  • Gain invaluable experience towards teaching training applications.
  • Work available immediately.

Application Requirements

  • You must have transferrable experience with children or young people.
  • Previous experience as a cover supervisor is desirable.
  • Experience with challenging behaviour or SEN is also desirable as these skills will be highly transferrable.
  • You do not need a teaching qualification

Our client schools are located across Bury and can be accessed via the A56 and M66 from surrounding areas of Greater Manchester such as Bolton, Salford and Oldham. For non-drivers, schools are accessible via several public transportation links from surrounding areas such as Bolton, Salford and central Manchester.

For immediate consideration, please submit a full CV to Megan Knight. To obtain further information, please contact the Manchester West Secondary Office on the contact number provided below;

All applicants will require the appropriate qualifications and training for this role. Please see teachingpersonnel.com/faqs for details.

All pay rates quoted will be inclusive of 12.07% statutory holiday pay.
