Open to Qualified Teachers, Cover Supervisors and Graduates | Flexible Day-to-Day and Long-Term Opportunities

Work in Education With Greater Flexibility

Do you enjoy working with young people but want more control over your working week?

Perhaps you are a qualified teacher looking for fewer planning, marking and administrative responsibilities. You may already have experience as a Cover Supervisor, or you could be a recent graduate looking to gain valuable classroom experience before beginning teacher training.

Teaching Personnel is recruiting confident and reliable educators to provide secondary school cover across Hook and the surrounding area.

Opportunities include flexible day-to-day supply, pre-booked cover and longer-term placements. Whether you want occasional work alongside other commitments or a consistent Monday-to-Friday role, we can help you find assignments that suit your experience and availability.

The Role

You will supervise secondary classes during teacher absences and ensure students remain focused on work that has already been prepared.

Your responsibilities may include:

• Supervising lessons across Key Stages 3 and 4
• Communicating lesson instructions and expectations clearly
• Managing behaviour in line with school policies
• Maintaining a calm, inclusive and productive classroom
• Encouraging students to engage with and complete their work
• Supporting students with additional learning needs
• Following school safeguarding and behaviour procedures
• Providing feedback to teaching staff after lessons

For most day-to-day cover assignments, you will not be expected to plan lessons or mark work.

• Aspiring teachers preparing for a PGCE or SCITT programme
