Prospero Teaching is recruiting a Cover Supervisor in Bushey to supervise secondary classes when their usual teacher is absent. You will deliver the instructions for pre-set work, maintain a productive classroom and help pupils stay on task. This role suits someone with strong experience working with young people who can manage a classroom calmly and confidently.

• Supervise classes across Key Stages 3 and 4, following the work provided.
• Take registers and explain tasks clearly so pupils can begin promptly.
• Apply the school's behaviour policy consistently and seek support when needed.
• Respond to questions about instructions and encourage independent working.
• Leave clear feedback on completed work, engagement and any concerns.

• Experience supervising or supporting groups of secondary-age young people.
• Confidence managing classroom behaviour and communicating expectations.
• Good literacy, numeracy and organisation; QTS is not required for this role.

Previous cover supervision, teaching assistant, tutoring or school-based coaching experience is useful. A degree is desirable where relevant, but practical experience matters.

The role provides broad secondary classroom experience. Lesson planning and teacher assessment responsibilities are not part of the proposed cover brief.
