Cover Supervisor – Secondary School (Ad-Hoc / Supply)

Location: Slough
Pay: Up to £120 per day
Contract: Flexible / Ad-Hoc Supply

About the Role

Brightstone Education Partners is currently working with a high-performing secondary school in Slough to build a reliable and adaptable Cover Supervisor for ad-hoc and supply work.

This role is to support the school with short-term cover, often due to staff absence. Bookings can be made at short notice, typically between 6:00am – 6:30am for same-day cover.

This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals looking to gain experience in education, work flexibly, or take the first step towards a career in teaching.

The Role Involves

  • Supervising classes in the absence of a teacher using pre-set lesson plans.

  • Ensuring students remain engaged and on task throughout the lesson.

  • Managing behaviour in line with school policies.

  • Supporting a positive and focused learning environment.

  • Following safeguarding and school procedures at all times.

About the School

  • Well-established and respected within the local community.

  • Strong focus on high standards, behaviour, and student progress.

  • Supportive leadership team and structured environment.

  • Clear expectations and systems in place to support staff.

What We’re Looking For

  • Confident individuals who can lead a classroom effectively.

  • Strong communication and behaviour management skills.

  • Flexible and reliable, with availability for early morning bookings.

  • A proactive and professional approach.

  • Experience working with young people is desirable (but not essential).

Important to Know

  • This is ad-hoc supply work, not a guaranteed daily role.

  • Work is often offered at short notice (early morning calls).

  • Flexibility and reliability are key to securing consistent bookings.

What’s on Offer

  • Up to £120 per day.

  • Opportunity to gain experience in a well-structured school environment.

  • Potential pathway into longer-term or permanent roles.
