Link3 Recruitment is a trusted recruitment agency that works with schools across the UK to provide quality education professionals. We are currently recruiting enthusiastic & confident Cover Supervisors to join secondary schools in Nottingham. This is an exciting opportunity for young professionals, graduates, or those considering a career in teaching to gain hands-on experience in the classroom.

As a Cover Supervisor, you''ll take the lead in managing a classroom when a teacher is absent — delivering pre-set work, maintaining behaviour, and ensuring students stay on task. It’s a perfect stepping stone for anyone thinking about a future in education, whether you’re planning to become a teacher or just looking to build transferable skills in leadership and communication.

• Supervise students across various subjects, following lesson plans left by teaching staff

• Ensure a calm, focused classroom environment where students can learn

• Manage behaviour and promote positive conduct in line with school policy

• Collect completed work and report back to teaching staff

• Offer light guidance on tasks, supporting students where appropriate

We’re looking for confident, reliable individuals who meet the following:

• Education: Minimum of a Level 3 qualification (A-Levels or equivalent) – graduates encouraged to apply

• Experience: Previous experience working with young people is a bonus but not essential (e.g., sports coaching, tutoring, mentoring)

• Skills:

  • Good communication and confidence speaking to groups

  • Ability to stay calm, adaptable, and professional

  • Strong sense of responsibility and reliability

• DBS: Must have or be willing to obtain an enhanced DBS check (Child Workforce). If not registered to the update service, this may involve a cost

• Ideal for recent graduates, gap year students, or those exploring a career in education

• Flexible work that fits around other commitments or studies

• Valuable classroom experience before enrolling in teacher training or PGCE

• Build confidence, leadership, and behaviour management skills

• Opportunity to make a difference in the lives of young people
