Trinity Primary School is seeking a compassionate, enthusiastic, and resilient Cover Supervisor to join our dedicated team. This is an exciting opportunity to support young people in achieving their potential — academically, socially, and emotionally.
About the Role
As a Cover Supervisor, you’ll work closely under the instruction and guidance of the class-teacher(s) for whom you are providing cover. You’ll help create a nurturing environment where every child feels valued, supported, and inspired to succeed.
Your work will be varied — no two days are the same! You’ll be:
• Covering the absence of teachers by supervising and supporting classes of pupils whilst they carry out pre-set activities. These classes may be in any subject area and/or age range.
• Managing the behaviour of pupils in accordance with school behaviour policy, whilst they carry out the task.
• Supporting pupils’ educational, emotional, and behavioural development.
• Promoting self-esteem, independence, and positive relationships.
We’re Looking for Someone Who:
• Has a caring, patient and empathetic nature.
• Can remain calm and positive in challenging situations.
• Believes in inclusive education and helping every pupil thrive.
• Is a strong team player with good communication skills.
• Is willing to learn — with opportunities for ongoing training and development.
• Uses approaches such as PACE, emotion coaching, and restorative conversations to support regulation and wellbeing.
What We Offer
• A warm, inclusive and supportive school community.
• Comprehensive induction and CPD opportunities.
• The chance to work alongside a dedicated, experienced team.
• A role that makes a genuine difference — every single day.
