Are you confident working with young people and looking for a rewarding role in education? Mana Education is recruiting Cover Supervisors for opportunities in Nottingham and surrounding areas.

Whether you're an experienced Cover Supervisor, a Teaching Assistant ready for more responsibility, or considering a career in teaching, we'd like to hear from you.

You don't need Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). Relevant experience working with young people, clear communication and the confidence to manage a classroom are what matter.

📚 What does a Cover Supervisor do?

You'll supervise classes during a teacher's absence, helping pupils stay focused and complete work prepared by the school. You won't normally be expected to plan lessons or mark work as a teacher.

Your responsibilities may include:

- Explaining tasks and checking pupils understand instructions

- Maintaining a calm, productive classroom

- Managing behaviour in line with the school's policy

- Encouraging participation and keeping pupils on task

- Taking registers and following school procedures

- Collecting completed work and giving feedback to teaching staff

- Reporting safeguarding or welfare concerns promptly

You may cover different subjects across KS3 and KS4, with sixth-form opportunities depending on the school. You don't need to be a specialist in every subject.


🙋 Who should apply?

We welcome applications from:

- Experienced Cover Supervisors and classroom support staff

- Teaching Assistants, LSAs and HLTAs looking to progress

- Graduates considering teacher training

- Sports coaches, youth workers, tutors and mentors

- Applicants with experience supervising groups of young people

A degree or education qualification can be useful but isn't essential for every vacancy. We'll discuss your experience and match you to suitable roles.


✅ What we're looking for

- Confidence giving clear instructions to a group

- A calm, consistent approach to behaviour

- Reliability, adaptability and good organisation

- Respectful relationships with pupils and staff

- A commitment to safeguarding and supporting learning
