Are you a recent graduate based in Oldham looking to kick-start your career in education? We are currently working with a number of welcoming and well-regarded secondary schools across the Oldham area who are seeking enthusiastic, confident graduates to support them as Cover Supervisors. Whether you’re looking for full-time work or flexible day-to-day supply to fit around other commitments, we have opportunities to suit you.
This is an excellent opportunity for individuals considering a career in teaching or education. As a Cover Supervisor, you will take the lead in managing classrooms in the absence of the class teacher, delivering pre-prepared lessons and ensuring students remain engaged and on task. You’ll gain invaluable, hands-on experience, build classroom confidence, and develop key transferable skills that are highly valued in teaching and beyond.
Schools are looking for graduates who are proactive, resilient, and able to build rapport quickly with young people. Previous experience working with children or young adults is advantageous, but not essential – what matters most is your ability to communicate effectively, maintain a calm and professional presence, and adapt to different classroom environments. Full support and guidance will be provided to help you succeed in the role.
We can offer a mix of full-time, long-term placements as well as flexible day-to-day cover, giving you the freedom to choose the work pattern that suits you best. This is ideal if you are exploring different school settings or looking to gain a broad range of experience before committing to teacher training.
In return, you will benefit from competitive daily pay rates, ongoing support from an experienced consultant who understands the local education market, and access to opportunities across a wide network of secondary schools in Oldham and the surrounding areas. Many of our graduates go on to secure permanent positions or progress into teacher training programmes after gaining experience in this role.
