‍ The roles

COVER SUPERVISORS

This role is perfect if you enjoy leading a classroom but without the planning and marking.

• Step into the classroom with confidence: You’ll be covering lessons for absent teachers, keeping learning on track.

• Follow pre-prepared lesson resources: No planning required – your focus is on delivery and engagement.

• Create a positive learning environment: Keep students focused, explain tasks clearly, and maintain calm, fair discipline.

• Build relationships quickly: Secondary pupils respect someone who’s firm but approachable – that’s you.

• Every day is different: You might be in English in the morning and Science after lunch. It’s variety at its best!

LEARNING SUPPORT ASSISTANTS

If you’re patient, understanding and enjoy helping pupils one-to-one, this is the role for you.

• Support pupils 1:1 or in small groups: Help students who need an extra boost with their work.

• Assist with learning and routines: From explaining tricky tasks to helping students stay organised and confident.

• Be a role model: Secondary pupils notice calm, steady people – you’ll be someone they trust.

• Work closely with teachers and SENCOs: You’ll be part of a team making sure every pupil has what they need to succeed.

• See the difference you make: From the small wins (finishing a piece of work) to the big ones (growing confidence across the term).

‍♀️ Who we’re looking for

• Experience in schools or with teenagers is desirable, but not essential (youth work, sports coaching, tutoring – all count!)

• Calm, confident and ready to think on your feet

• Keen to make a difference and be valued for it
