Looking for a rewarding role in secondary education where no two days are the same?

TeacherActive is currently recruiting enthusiastic, confident and adaptable Cover Supervisors to work across a number of welcoming and supportive mainstream secondary schools throughout Liverpool and Merseyside.

This is an exciting opportunity for individuals who are passionate about supporting young people and making a positive impact in the classroom. Whether you have experience working in schools, a background in youth work or are considering a future career in teaching, this role could be the perfect next step.

We are looking for motivated individuals who can confidently step into the classroom, maintain a positive learning environment and ensure pupils remain engaged with their education.

Our partner schools require flexible Cover Supervisors to support students across Key Stages 3 and 4 (KS3 and KS4), offering a variety of day-to-day, short-term and potentially longer-term placements.

What will you be doing?

As a Cover Supervisor, you will play an important role in ensuring learning continues smoothly when teaching staff are absent. Your responsibilities will include:

• Supervising classes and ensuring students remain focused and on task.

• Delivering pre-planned activities and work set by the absent teacher.

• Creating a calm, structured and inclusive classroom environment.

• Managing classroom behaviour in line with school expectations and policies.

• Supporting pupils with their learning across a range of subjects.

• Building positive relationships with students and school staff.

• Encouraging participation, independence and positive attitudes towards learning.

• Following safeguarding procedures and promoting student wellbeing.

What are we looking for?

The ideal Cover Supervisor will be confident, approachable and able to adapt to different classroom environments.

We would love to hear from candidates who have:

• Experience working with children or young people, ideally within a secondary school, youth work or similar setting.

• The confidence to supervise and engage groups of students aged 11–16.

• Excellent communication, organisation and behaviour management skills.

• The ability to follow instructions and deliver pre-prepared classroom activities.

• A proactive, patient and professional approach.

• Flexibility and a willingness to work across different schools and subjects.

• A genuine interest in education and helping young people achieve their potential.

Previous classroom experience is desirable but not essential. We welcome applications from individuals with transferable skills who are eager to develop their experience within education.

• Competitive daily pay of £100–£150, depending on experience and placement.
