Cover Supervisors

Cover Supervisors & Instructors
Location: Southampton and surrounding areas
Pay: From £100 per day (depending on role and experience)

Are you confident leading a classroom and passionate about working with young people? Do you hold a UK-recognised degree and have experience supporting learning or delivering lessons? If so, we want to hear from you.

Academics is working closely with secondary schools across Southampton to recruit Cover Supervisors and Instructors for the new year. These roles are ideal for those considering a career in teaching, as well as experienced educators looking for flexible, rewarding work.

You’ll be delivering pre-prepared lessons, managing classroom behaviour, and ensuring students stay engaged in their learning in the absence of the usual class teacher. While the work is often general cover, we can also place you in subject-specific roles that suit your background or interests.

To be considered, you will need:

*

A UK-recognised degree
*

Some experience teaching, tutoring, or working with young people in an educational setting
*

Strong classroom and behaviour management skills
*

The ability to build rapport quickly with students and staff
*

A DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to apply for one

We offer both daily supply and longer-term contracts, giving you the flexibility to choose the type of work that suits your goals. With pay starting from £100 per day, and the support of a dedicated consultant who understands the local education landscape, Academics provides a professional, reliable route into classroom-based roles.

If you’re ready to step into the classroom and make a real impact in Southampton schools, apply now to join our team of valued cover staff.

Salary will be determined by the successful candidate's qualifications and relevant experience, and will be in accordance with the client’s pay policy.
