Chalk Education has immediate opportunities for Cover Supervisors in schools across Wigan, offering a mix of daily supply and longer-term temporary placements. This is a fantastic way to gain school experience, build confidence, and make a real difference—while keeping control of when and where you work.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a Cover Supervisor, you’ll step into the classroom to supervise pre-planned lessons when teachers are absent. Schools provide lesson materials, registers, and guidance, so your focus is on:

• Keeping students on task and engaged
• Managing behaviour positively and confidently
• Creating a calm, productive classroom environment

We’re Looking For People Who:

• Are confident communicating with students aged 11–16
• Have at least 2years’ experience working with young people (education, coaching, tutoring, childcare, youth work, etc.)
• Can manage classroom behaviour and keep students motivated
• Have strong interpersonal and organisational skills
• Are reliable, flexible, and approachable
• A degree or studies towards one are helpful, but not essential

Experience in sports coaching, psychology, or SEND support (especially mental health awareness) is particularly valuable, but not required.

Essential Requirements

• Experience working with young people in a structured setting
• References to confirm suitability
• Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to apply
• Right to work in the UK

• Ongoing professional development and online training
• Support from dedicated, knowledgeable consultants
• Refer-a-friend scheme – earn £100 in vouchers each
