About the Role
Are you a confident communicator with a passion for working with young people? Teach Now is looking for an enthusiastic and reliable Cover Supervisor to join a welcoming and high-achieving secondary school in Hertsmere, Hertfordshire, starting in September 2025.

This is a part-time, flexible position - ideal for graduates considering teacher training, experienced teaching assistants looking for a step up, or professionals seeking a new and rewarding role in education.

The site includes modern facilities, a vibrant sixth form, and a diverse, respectful student body.

About the Role
As a Cover Supervisor, you'll be responsible for delivering pre-prepared lessons in the absence of the classroom teacher. Your main focus will be to manage the class, maintain a productive learning environment, and keep students engaged with the task at hand. No lesson planning or marking is required - just a proactive attitude, strong presence, and a commitment to maintaining the school's positive learning culture.

• Strong communication and classroom management skills
• Ability to think on your feet and engage pupils with confidence
• A friendly, adaptable, and resilient approach
• A genuine interest in education and supporting young people

If you're ready to take on a varied and impactful role within a fantastic school community, we'd love to hear from you.
