Are you passionate about working with young people and looking to gain hands-on classroom experience? I’m representing a well-regarded secondary school in Dudley seeking a confident and committed Cover Supervisor to join their team from September.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone considering a career in teaching or education — whether you're a graduate, a teaching assistant looking to step up, or someone with previous experience in youth work or coaching.

As a Cover Supervisor, you will:

• Deliver pre-prepared lessons to classes in the absence of the regular teacher

• Maintain classroom order and follow the school’s behaviour policies

• Support students with their learning, ensuring continuity in their education

• Liaise with teaching staff to provide feedback on lesson delivery and pupil engagement

Full training and guidance will be provided — you’ll be part of a supportive team with a strong induction process and ongoing mentoring.

This is a forward-thinking, inclusive school in the heart of Dudley, known for:

• A positive and respectful school culture

• Supportive leadership and clear expectations

• Excellent behaviour systems and safeguarding structures

• A welcoming, community-focused environment where staff are valued

Whether you’re aiming to gain classroom experience before applying for teacher training or simply enjoy working in a school setting, this role gives you a meaningful opportunity to make an impact every day.

• Experience working with young people (school, coaching, mentoring or similar)

• Strong communication skills and classroom presence

• Reliability, adaptability, and professionalism

• A genuine passion for supporting pupils in their learning
