Sports Graduate

As a Cover Supervisor, you'll step into lessons when teachers are unavailable and help maintain a productive learning environment.

Your role will include:
- Supervising lessons using pre-prepared work
- Keeping students focused and engaged
- Managing behaviour calmly and confidently
- Following school systems and routines
- Providing feedback to teaching staff after lessons

It's a varied role that suits people who enjoy working in fast-paced, people-focused environments.

Many of the qualities developed through sport naturally transfer into the classroom, including:
- Leadership and teamwork
- Resilience and adaptability
- Confidence speaking to groups
- Motivating and encouraging others
- Staying calm in challenging situations

Whether you've studied Sports Science, coached teams, or simply enjoy active environments, this role can be a brilliant way to gain experience and build transferable skills.

This role is often used as a stepping stone into teacher training.

If you've come from a sporting background, chances are you're already confident leading others, staying composed under pressure, and working as part of a team.

Those skills are hugely valuable in schools.

We're currently supporting a number of secondary schools across Fleet and the surrounding areas, who are looking for motivated and energetic Sports Graduates to work as Cover Supervisors.

No classroom experience? That's absolutely fine.

You don't need a teaching background to succeed in this role. We're looking for people with strong communication skills, a positive attitude, and the confidence to lead a classroom. Full training and support will be provided before you begin.

If you decide education is the right path for you, we can support you with introductions to local teacher training providers and salaried routes to Qualified Teacher Status (QTS).
- Flexible work to suit your availability
- Opportunities across schools in Fleet
- Daily pay from £115 per day (PAYE)
- Free CPD training including behaviour management, SEN, and safeguarding
- School experience and shadow days before starting
- Ongoing support from a dedicated and friendly team

At Quokka Education, safeguarding is a key priority.

All applicants will complete vetting checks in line with Department for Education guidance, including an online search as part of the process. We'll guide you through every stage.

If you're a sports graduate looking for a rewarding and active role where you can make a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
