Job Description

Cover Supervisors in Basingstoke - A Role That Builds Confidence and Opens Doors
Looking for a role that challenges you, supports you, and rewards you fairly? Quokka Education is recruiting Cover Supervisors for our partner secondary schools in Basingstoke.
As a Cover Supervisor, you'll lead classrooms when teachers are absent. But this is far more than a stop-gap role - it's an opportunity to develop transferable skills, test out a future career in teaching, and gain experience that will benefit you wherever your career takes you.
No experience? No problem. Our most successful supervisors often come from other industries: retail and hospitality (where teamwork and communication are key), sports and coaching (where leadership is second nature), youth work and childcare (where patience and resilience shine), or performing arts (where confidence and presence matter). Whatever your background, if you can stay calm, think on your feet, and bring authority to the classroom, you can succeed.
What your growth looks like

• First month: Build confidence leading lessons, follow school policies, and set boundaries that support learning.

• By 60 days: Schools will start asking for you back, impressed by your professionalism, reliability, and consistency.

• By 90 days: You'll be recognised as a trusted member of the local supply team, respected for your ability to lead classrooms independently.

What you'll achieve with Quokka

• Top-of-market daily pay rates, paid weekly through PAYE.
• Free CPD and training to help you upskill in areas like SEN, safeguarding, and behaviour management.
• Regular support and check-ins to ensure you feel confident and valued.
• The chance to build a solid foundation of classroom experience to progress into teaching or education careers.
• The security of working with a candidate-first agency that treats you fairly and respectfully.
