General Cover Teacher

Position: Daily & Short-Term Supply

Salary: £140 - £180 per day (Weekly Pay)

Contract: Flexible / Term-Time

Are you a Qualified Teacher looking to reclaim your evenings and weekends? Join our local partner schools as a General Cover Teacher and focus on what you love most: the students.

We are seeking experienced practitioners and ECTs who want to maintain their classroom presence without the "take-home" burden of planning, marking, and data entry. As a General Cover Teacher, you provide the vital expertise that keeps local secondary schools running smoothly, delivering pre-set lessons across a variety of subjects.

• Total Work-Life Balance: Choose the days you work. No parent's evenings, no departmental meetings, and zero marking.

• Competitive Daily Rates: Earn £140 - £180 per day, paid every Friday via Randstad.

• Professional Networking: This is an excellent way to explore different school cultures without a long-term commitment.

• Immediate Impact: Walk into a classroom, lead the lesson, and leave at the final bell with a clean slate for the next day.

As a Supply Teacher, you are the professional face of the school in the absence of the permanent lead.

• High-Impact Delivery: Follow pre-set lesson plans across the National Curriculum, ensuring students remain engaged and productive.

• Behaviour Leadership: Utilise your classroom management expertise to maintain a calm, focused, and inclusive learning environment.

• Flexible Support: Provide 1:1 or small-group guidance to students who need extra assistance with the set work.

• Professional Handover: Leave concise notes for the returning teacher to ensure seamless continuity of learning.

To be considered for this General Cover Teaching role, you must meet the following:

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or QTLS: Mandatory for this position.

• Adaptability: The ability to step into any subject-from Humanities to Art-and deliver a high-quality session.

• Classroom Presence: Strong rapport-building skills and the confidence to manage 30+ students effectively.

• Compliance: A valid enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply) and a total commitment to Safeguarding.
