Cover Supervisors Wanted Across Teesside

Perfect for Sports Coaches, Youth Leaders & Mentors Looking for a New Challenge

Are you passionate about working with young people?

Do you thrive on leading groups, motivating others, and being a positive role model?

If you've coached sports or supported young people in any setting - your skills are exactly what Teesside secondary schools are looking for.

Veritas Education is expanding across the North‑East, and we're supporting multiple schools who want long‑term or permanent Cover Supervisors - ideal for people with a sports, coaching, or youth work background who want stability, purpose, and a rewarding career path.

Why Sports Coaches Make Great Cover Supervisors

If you have experience in:

  • Coaching children or young people
  • Managing groups during training or activities
  • Communicating instructions clearly
  • Motivating teams
  • Keeping sessions structured, safe, and positive …then you already have the core foundations schools value most.

    • We'll help you transition confidently into the classroom.

    About the Role

    As a Cover Supervisor, you will:

  • Lead lessons in the absence of the teacher
  • Use your coaching presence to keep students engaged and on task
  • Bring energy, structure, and leadership to every class
  • Build rapport with students and become a familiar, trusted face
  • Support learning across a variety of subjects
  • Make a genuine difference in local schools every day

    • Long‑term and permanent opportunities are available - perfect for those wanting consistency and career progression.

    What We're Looking For

    You do not need teaching qualifications. We are especially keen to hear from people with:

  • Sports coaching or team leadership background
  • Youth club, community sport, or mentoring experience
  • Experience working with young people aged 11-18
  • Confidence speaking to groups and leading activities
  • Strong behaviour management or organisational skills

    • If you've coached football, rugby, dance, gymnastics, martial arts, cricket, athletics - or anything involving structured youth engagement - you could thrive in this role!

    What You'll Get

  • Competitive weekly pay (PAYE)
  • Priority access to long‑term placements and permanent school roles
  • Access to free online CPD training to upskill
  • A dedicated consultant supporting you throughout (me!)
  • Opportunities across Teesside, including Middlesbrough, Stockton, Redcar, Billingham & Darlington
  • A chance to build a real career in education

    • How to Apply

    If you're ready to bring your coaching skills into the classroom and want a stable, meaningful role in local schools, we'd love to speak with you. Please apply below or contact Ed Hyland at ehyland@veritas-education.com
