Looking to get into education but don't have a teaching qualification? This could be the perfect opportunity for you!

Tradewind Recruitment is currently recruiting Cover Supervisors to support our partner schools across Daventry and the surrounding area.

As a Cover Supervisor, you'll help keep lessons running smoothly when the usual teacher is unavailable. You'll work with pupils across the school, delivering pre-prepared work, managing the classroom and making sure students remain focused and engaged.

You don't need QTS or a teaching qualification to become a Cover Supervisor. Previous experience working in a school can be helpful, but it's not essential for all of our opportunities. We're interested in people who are confident, reliable and genuinely want to work with young people.

• Confident and approachable individuals
• Someone who can build positive relationships with young people
• Good communication and organisation skills
• The ability to manage a classroom calmly and confidently
• Reliable and professional
• A genuine interest in working in education
• Previous experience with children or young people is desirable but not essential
• QTS is not required

You could be coming from a completely different career, have experience in youth work, sports coaching, childcare, care, mentoring or customer-facing roles, or simply be looking for a new challenge. If you're confident working with people and have the right attitude, we'd love to hear from you.

• No QTS required
• No previous school experience necessary for suitable roles
• Flexible supply opportunities available
• Regular and longer-term positions
• Work across our partner schools in Daventry
• Dedicated consultant support
• Competitive rates of pay
• Free access to thousands of CPD courses
• Great opportunity to gain experience within education
• Potential pathways into longer-term education careers

If you've ever thought about working in a school but assumed you needed a teaching qualification, you don't!
