Cover Supervisor / HLTA

We are working with a welcoming school in the Sandy area who are seeking to appoint a confident and adaptable Cover Supervisor / Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA). This is a great opportunity for someone who is passionate about working with young people and has the ability to step up and lead a class when required.

In this role, you will be supervising lessons in the teacher’s absence, ensuring that learning continues and that students remain engaged. Lesson planning and marking are not required – your focus will be on delivering the pre-prepared work, maintaining a positive learning environment, and managing behaviour effectively.

Key Responsibilities:

• Leading and supervising whole classes across a range of subjects when needed.

• Delivering pre-set lesson content and ensuring pupils remain on task.

• Promoting positive behaviour and upholding the school’s expectations.

• Providing support to teaching staff and working with small groups or individuals when not covering classes.

What we’re looking for:

• Confidence and presence in the classroom, with the ability to engage and manage a class effectively.

• Strong communication skills and a professional approach.

• Previous experience in schools, youth work, tutoring, or a similar setting is highly valued.

• A Level 3 qualification is desirable but not essential – the right attitude and resilience are what matter most.

What’s on offer:

• A varied and rewarding role within a supportive school environment.

• The opportunity to build valuable classroom experience – an excellent stepping stone for those considering teaching.

• Competitive pay and ongoing support from our dedicated agency team.

If you are enthusiastic, resilient, and ready to take on the challenge of leading classes, we would love to hear from you.
