The Opportunity

We are actively seeking committed and adaptable Full-Time Cover Teachers with subject specialisms to join our teaching team for mid- to long-term placements in secondary schools across Northampton. These roles are ideal for subject-qualified teachers who are confident delivering across their specialism while stepping in to support broader curriculum cover when needed.

Ensure continuity of learning and behaviour expectations in the absence of regular teachers

Contribute to departmental planning and assessments where appropriate for longer-term roles

Build positive relationships with students, maintaining a calm and consistent classroom environment

Engage in school life and uphold safeguarding and behaviour policies

What We're Looking For

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS)

Specialism in a core or EBacc subject (English, Maths, Science, Humanities, MFL, or similar)

Experience teaching KS3 and/or KS4

A flexible and professional approach to teaching in varied contexts

Strong classroom management and the ability to build quick rapport with pupils

Commitment to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of young people

What We Offer

Full-time, longer-term opportunities with the potential to lead to permanent roles

Access to a range of placements in supportive and well-managed Northamptonshire schools

Opportunity to teach your specialism while contributing across the wider curriculum

Professional development and mentoring if required

Competitive pay rates aligned with teaching scale

If you're ready to take on a flexible and rewarding teaching role, apply now to become a Cover Teacher in Northampton this September.
