Job Description

Are you a confident, adaptable leader looking for a rewarding, flexible role in the South East London / Kent area? Can you manage a classroom with authority, keep students focused, and ensure learning continues seamlessly when their regular teacher is away? Whether you are a local graduate aiming for a career in education, a career changer, or an experienced supervisor looking for a vibrant environment, Randstad Education wants to hear from you. We are seeking proactive and reliable Cover Supervisors to support our partner secondary schools and academies across the Welling area (Bexley borough). This role is ideal for individuals who want to gain invaluable classroom experience without the responsibilities of lesson planning, grading, or parents' evenings. It offers a fantastic opportunity to build your leadership skills, manage diverse groups of young people, and work on a schedule that fits your lifestyle.

Job Responsibility

  • Classroom Leadership: Oversee secondary classes (KS3 & KS4), maintaining a safe, respectful, and highly productive learning environment while delivering pre-set lesson plans
  • Behaviour Management: Consistently enforce the school's behaviour policy, addressing low-level disruptions firmly and fairly to keep students on task
  • Student Guidance: Assist students with their work, clarifying instructions and answering questions to ensure there is no drop in academic momentum
  • Versatile Adaptation: Be prepared to cover a wide spectrum of subjects throughout the school day-from English and Humanities to practical subjects like Art or PE
  • Handover & Reporting: Take accurate attendance registers and provide detailed notes for the returning classroom teacher regarding student progress and behaviour

Requirements

  • Confidence & Presence
  • Resilient Adaptability
  • Strong Communication
  • Relevant Experience (Preferred): prior experience working with children or teenagers-such as sports coaching, youth work, tutoring, or camp leadership
  • Compliance: An enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service (or a willingness to process a new one via Randstad)

What we offer

  • Access our library of free, certified CPD courses, including management and safeguarding
  • Referral Rewards: Earn a £300 voucher as a thank you for every qualified teacher, cover supervisor, or support worker you successfully refer to our agency
  • E-learning modules
