Cover Supervisor – Secondary School – East Grinstead

📅 Permanent | Full Time | September 2025 Start
💷 £24,000 per annum

Are you a confident communicator with a passion for working with young people? Looking to gain classroom experience before moving into teaching or further education?

A well-regarded secondary school in East Grinstead is seeking a Cover Supervisor to join their dedicated team on a permanent basis from September. This is a fantastic opportunity for a graduate, aspiring teacher, or experienced support staff member ready to step into a more active classroom role.


🔍 What does a Cover Supervisor do?

You’ll play a vital role in the day-to-day running of the school by:

  • Delivering pre-set lessons in the absence of the class teacher

  • Managing classroom behaviour and ensuring learning continues

  • Supporting students with their work and responding to questions

  • Maintaining a calm, focused, and respectful learning environment

You won’t be expected to plan or mark — your focus is on delivery, supervision, and presence in the classroom.


🌱 Why this is a great opportunity:

  • Perfect stepping stone for teacher training (many go on to ITT/QTS routes!)

  • Full-time, permanent position with great school-based support

  • Training and ongoing CPD provided by an experienced, welcoming team

  • Opportunity to work across different subjects and year groups


What you’ll need:

  • A degree or equivalent qualification

  • Strong presence and confidence in front of a class

  • Good organisational skills and the ability to adapt quickly

  • Experience working with young people (formal or informal) is a bonus


If you’re enthusiastic about education and want to build valuable school experience, this could be your ideal next step.
