Secondary Cover Teacher (General Cover)

Location: Holsworthy and surrounding areas

Salary: £100 - £165 per day (depending on experience)

Contract Type: Day-to-day / Supply

Are you a qualified teacher or an experienced cover supervisor looking for flexible work that fits around your life? We are looking for adaptable, enthusiastic Secondary Cover Teachers to support a variety of fantastic secondary schools in Holsworthy and the surrounding local areas.

If you love teaching but want to leave the planning, marking, and data tracking behind, day-to-day supply cover is the perfect way to make an impact without the take-home stress.

What You'll Be Doing

As a General Cover Teacher, no two days are the exact same. You will be stepping into different classrooms to deliver pre-set work, keep students engaged, and ensure lessons run smoothly.

• Deliver pre-planned lessons across a range of secondary subjects (no planning required!).
• Manage classroom behaviour effectively, creating a positive and focused learning environment.
• Follow school policies and safeguard students in line with each school's individual guidelines.
• Leave brief handover notes for the returning class teacher at the end of the day.

What We're Looking For

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS/ECT) is highly preferred, but we also welcome applications from highly experienced Cover Supervisors or Instructors.
• Strong classroom management skills and a calm, confident presence.
• Flexibility and the ability to hit the ground running in a new school environment.
• Reliable transport or a willingness to travel around Holsworthy and neighbouring towns.
• An enhanced DBS check on the Update Service (or a willingness to apply for one).

Why You'll Love Day-to-Day Supply

• Ultimate Flexibility: Choose exactly when and where you want to work-perfect for balancing family, travel, or other projects.
• Zero Workload Outside of School Hours: Arrive at 8:30 AM, leave at 3:30 PM. No marking, no parent's evenings, and no lesson planning.
• Competitive Pay: £100 to £165 per day, paid weekly.
• Experience Different Schools: A brilliant opportunity to build relationships with local schools in North Devon and Cornwall borders.
