Cover Supervisor – Secondary Schools

Location: Grimsby and surrounding areas
Pay: Up to £650 per week
Hours: Supply work across multiple secondary schools, primarily day-to-day cover, with potential for longer-term placements.

About the Role

Connex Education is recruiting enthusiastic, confident and adaptable Cover Supervisors to work across a network of secondary schools in Grimsby and the surrounding areas.

This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals looking to gain experience in education or build on their existing classroom experience while working in a variety of secondary school settings.

Initially, the role will involve providing day-to-day cover across multiple schools rather than being based at one specific school. There may also be opportunities for longer-term placements as they become available.

As a Cover Supervisor, you will supervise pupils aged 11–16, deliver pre-planned lesson materials, manage classroom behaviour and ensure students remain engaged with their learning in the absence of their regular teacher.

You will be supported by Connex Education throughout your placements, with access to relevant training and guidance to help you succeed in the classroom.
