Summary

Are you a graduate (or graduating soon) looking to gain valuable classroom experience before deciding if teaching could be the right career for you?

Quokka Education is looking for graduates and aspiring teachers to support secondary schools across North Hampshire.

This includes schools in Winchester, Basingstoke, Andover, Hook, Fleet and Alton, where you'll deliver pre-planned lessons and supervise classes when teachers are absent.

This is a fantastic opportunity to experience the classroom environment, build confidence leading lessons, and explore whether a career in teaching could be the right fit for you.

You'll help deliver pre-set lessons across a range of subjects, keep students engaged, and ensure learning continues smoothly throughout the school day.

No experience? No problem.

Many of our Cover Supervisors start with no previous school experience and quickly build confidence through our training, induction days and ongoing support.

What We Offer
- Flexible work - part-time or full-time opportunities available
- Experience across a wide range of excellent secondary schools in Winchester and North Hampshire
- A great pathway for graduates considering teacher training
- Induction days before you start, so you understand how schools work and what good teaching looks like
- Free CPD and training, including behaviour management, safeguarding and SEN awareness
- Weekly pay at competitive rates
- A people-first approach built on fairness, transparency and genuine support

Who This Role Suits

We welcome people from a range of backgrounds, including:
- Graduates exploring a career in education
- Students working towards graduating
- Aspiring teachers
- Youth or support workers
- Sports coaches
- Performers (music, drama, acting)
- Anyone confident, adaptable and ready for a new challenge

If you feel comfortable leading a classroom and supporting student learning, this could be a fantastic opportunity.

What Success Looks Like as a Cover Supervisor In your first few weeks (Days 1-30)
- Deliver pre-set work and keep lessons on track
- Learn school routines and build positive relationships with students
- Show reliability and professionalism in every placement

As you settle in (around 60 days)
- Become a familiar, trusted face in local schools
- Confidently support different year groups and subjects
- Demonstrate calm and consistent behaviour management

As you grow (around 90 days)
- Become a go-to Cover Supervisor in your area
- Lead lessons independently
- Build a strong reputation for reliability and impact
