Job Description:

Cover Manager - Secondary School near Potters Bar

Could you be the organised, calm presence a busy secondary school needs to keep each day running smoothly? Whether you're an experienced Cover Supervisor or School Administrator ready for your next step, a recent graduate exploring a route into education, or simply looking to move into a school-based career, this could be the opportunity for you.

Tradewind Secondary is partnering with a well-regarded, close-knit secondary school to appoint a Cover Manager to their administration team, starting in September.

This is a genuinely important role at the heart of the school's daily operations. You'll be responsible for arranging internal cover, coordinating the day's timetable, and stepping in to cover lessons yourself when needed, using teachers' pre-set work. The school offers some flexibility around hours, though you should expect to be available from around 6:30-7am to organise cover, with an on-site start by 7:30am.

We're looking for someone organised, personable, and comfortable working closely with staff across the school - from teachers to senior leaders.

Based near Potters Bar, this is a friendly, inclusive school where staff feel valued and well-supported by both leadership and pupils. Day-to-day, the role includes a fair amount of data entry alongside team coordination, and you'll be mentored by a highly experienced line manager who provides thorough training and ongoing support.

We welcome applications from:

• Graduates seeking their first step into an education career
• Career changers considering a move into school life
• Cover Supervisors or supply staff wanting more stability and a clear next move

The school belongs to a wider trust known for investing in staff development - so if you're hoping to move toward teacher training or other progression down the line, you'll have full backing to get there.

This is a full-time, permanent position offering a competitive salary. To apply, please send your CV along with a cover letter detailing your relevant experience. All appointments are subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references.
