Trainee Cover Supervisor

Central Liverpool
£100 - £110 per day (salary is depending on experience and/or qualifications)
September Start – Ongoing

Vision for Education are excited to offer a Trainee Cover Supervisor Programme for enthusiastic and reliable individuals looking to begin a rewarding career in education. This programme is designed for those with experience working with young people (e.g., in coaching, tutoring, youth work, childcare or similar) who want to step into classroom-based roles but may not yet have direct school experience.

Successful candidates will be invited to attend a dedicated training day at our Vision Liverpool office, where you will gain a full understanding of the Cover Supervisor role, including:

• Classroom management techniques

• How to deliver pre-planned lessons effectively

• Strategies for engaging and motivating students

• Safeguarding and professional conduct in schools

Once you have completed the training, you will be fully prepared to begin work as a Cover Supervisor across a range of vibrant and supportive secondary schools.

As a Cover Supervisor, you will:

• Supervise classes during the short-term absence of teachers

• Ensure students remain on task with pre-prepared work

• Create a calm and focused learning environment

• Encourage independent learning and positive behaviour

• Support schools with general duties such as breaktime supervision or form activities

You will not be expected to plan or mark work, but confidence, adaptability and strong behaviour management are essential.

We work with a range of welcoming and forward-thinking secondary schools across Merseyside. These schools are committed to student success and personal development, providing excellent support for both learners and staff. Many are modern, well-equipped, and have strong leadership teams with inclusive values.

We welcome applicants who:

• Have experience working with young people (education, sports coaching, youth work, childcare, tutoring etc.)

• Are enthusiastic, reliable, and keen to learn

• Have strong communication and interpersonal skills

• Can remain calm, confident, and professional in a classroom setting

• Are available full-time and flexible to work across different schools

An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply for one) is essential.

• Full training and induction into the Cover Supervisor role

• Excellent daily rates paid using the PAYE system

• Guaranteed pay scheme (subject to availability)

• Pension contributions

• CPD opportunities to support your career development

• Ongoing support from a dedicated consultant

We are a market-leading education supply agency, committed to supporting the development of young people and providing high-quality educators to schools across the country.

We do not discriminate on the grounds of age, gender, race, colour, religion, disability or sexual orientation, and we welcome applications from all sections of the community.

If you’re enthusiastic about working with young people, eager to develop new skills, and want to begin a career in education, we would love to hear from you.
