Cover Supervisor

The Role (AKA: Your Daily Adventure) As our Cover Supervisor, you’ll be the heroic figure who steps in when teachers are away, keeping learning on track and spirits high. You’ll be: Commanding the classroom — with confidence, humour, and the occasional raised eyebrow of doom. Keeping students engaged — even when they insist they’ve “never done this topic before”. Delivering set work — and making it look effortless. Being the calm centre — even when 9C has big Friday-afternoon energy. Supporting the wider school — because UCS is a team sport. 🎯 Who You Are You’re the kind of person who: Thrives on variety — no two days, lessons, or student excuses are ever the same Has a natural authority without being scary Can explain instructions three times without losing the will to live Enjoys teenagers (most of the time) Has a sense of humour strong enough to survive Year 8 Can spot off-task whispering at 50 metres 🏫 Why UCS? Because UCS is more than a school — it’s a community full of curiosity, kindness, and the occasional rogue football in the corridor. You’ll get: An additional day of leave - a wellness day to focus on your wellbeing Cycle to work scheme and family friendly policies Local Government Pension Scheme A supportive, forward-thinking school community Supportive colleagues who genuinely have your back Students who will surprise you daily A role where you make a real difference A workplace where laughter is part of the job description 🚀 Ready to Step Into the Classroom Spotlight?
