Summary

Thinking about a future in teaching but not quite ready to jump straight into training?
If you're a confident, people-focused graduate searching for a role with purpose, becoming a Cover Supervisor in Andover could be the perfect first step. We work with several welcoming, well-structured secondary schools across the Andover area who are looking for adaptable graduates to join their teams and support day-to-day teaching.

This role gives you genuine responsibility from day one. You'll be leading pre-planned lessons, managing a classroom environment, and supporting students in keeping their learning on track. It's the ideal way to experience what teaching is really like - without needing to commit to long-term training straight away.

And if you haven't worked in a school before, don't worry. We'll provide the guidance, training and confidence boost you need to succeed.

• Free online training and onboarding
• Optional taster or observation days before you start
• A friendly, hands-on support team who will check in regularly
• Opportunities to gain school-based experience quickly
• Clear routes into salaried or funded teacher training programmes



• Step into a range of classrooms using fully prepared lesson plans
• Begin to understand school routines and expectations
• Build positive relationships with staff and students
• Demonstrate reliability, professionalism and adaptability early on

• Become someone schools actively ask to return
• Build confidence supervising different year groups and subjects
• Develop strong behaviour management instincts
• Show calm leadership and a reassuring classroom presence

• Become a recognised, go-to Cover Supervisor across the Andover area
• Lead lessons with confidence and independence
• Build a reputation for being dependable, steady and supportive
• Gain valuable experience for teaching, tutoring or school support roles

Graduates from any discipline who are:
• Considering teaching in the future
• Confident, calm and able to adapt quickly
• Comfortable engaging with secondary-age students
• Keen to make a positive difference in a local school community

No previous school experience is required - just the right mindset and a genuine desire to help.

• From £120 a day (PAYE)
• Free CPD and training to build your confidence
• Observation or taster days available before you start
• Ongoing mentoring and support
• Clear pathways into teacher training or school-based training routes
