The posting

Are you confident, adaptable and able to build positive relationships with young people? We are looking for a Cover Supervisor to join Lift Maltings and help maintain high-quality learning when teachers are absent.

About the role

As a Cover Supervisor, you will provide essential classroom cover during planned and unplanned teacher absence. You will deliver pre-prepared lesson materials across a range of subjects, explain tasks clearly and ensure students remain focused, complete their work and behave appropriately.

You will help create a calm and orderly learning environment, support students who need additional help, including those with SEND, complete attendance registers and provide feedback to teaching and pastoral colleagues. You may also support student supervision during breaks, lunchtimes and other wider academy activities when required.

Key responsibilities

  • Supervise lessons in the absence of the class teacher and deliver pre-prepared lesson materials
  • Maintain a positive, calm and orderly classroom, applying the academy behaviour policy consistently
  • Support students to understand and complete assigned work, including providing appropriate support to students with SEND
  • Complete attendance registers, collect completed work and provide clear feedback to the class teacher
  • Liaise with teaching, SEND and pastoral colleagues where student support or welfare issues arise
  • Support wider academy duties, including student supervision during breaks, lunchtimes and other activities when required

What we're looking for

  • GCSE Maths and English at Grade 4 or equivalent, together with A levels or an equivalent Level 3 qualification
  • Experience of working with children and young people and the confidence to supervise whole classes
  • Knowledge of effective behaviour management strategies and the ability to remain calm, patient and resilient
  • Clear and effective communication skills and the ability to build positive relationships with students and colleagues
  • Adaptability and flexibility to work across different subjects, age groups and changing daily priorities
  • Strong teamwork, organisation and the ability to plan and prioritise your workload while maintaining confidentiality
  • A commitment to safeguarding, equality and inclusion; experience in education, a degree or PGCE, Google Workspace and Arbor knowledge are desirable

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
