Love teaching, but hate the admin? If you want to step into the classroom, lead students, and make an instant impact-without spending your evenings marking essays or lesson planning-Cover Supervision is the perfect career move for you.

We are looking for confident, adaptable, and engaging individuals to support secondary schools across Brighton, Hove, and nearby Sussex towns.

  • End-of-Day Transition:Hand back completed work and submit brief, essential attendance notes before clocking out.
Qualifications:
  • Presence:Ability to command a room with enthusiasm and professional maturity.
  • Versatility:Backgrounds in education, youth work, sports coaching, or performing arts are highly valued.
  • Reliability:Standard availability during school hours (8:30 AM - 3:30 PM).
  • Vetting:Must hold an Enhanced DBS on the Update Service or be willing to apply for one.
What We Offer:
  • Competitive Pay:Earn £100.00 - £130.00 per day, paid directly via weekly PAYE.
  • Work-Life Balance:Enjoy a role with no lesson prep, no staff meetings, and no weekend grading.
  • Career Growth:An excellent platform if you are considering future Teacher Training or a PGCE.
  • Local Work:Consistent placements throughout Brighton & Hove and coastal Sussex.
