📣 University Graduate – Shrewsbury

Have you just finished university and are looking for a role that’s exciting, flexible, and genuinely rewarding? Perhaps you’ve worked as a sports coach, youth worker, or gained hands-on experience in a school setting — and you’re now ready to take the next step. If so, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

Zest Education is working closely with a number of dynamic and welcoming secondary schools across Shrewsbury and surrounding areas, who are looking for enthusiastic Cover Supervisors to join their teams. Positions are available to start immediately and run throughout the academic year.

✨ What does a Cover Supervisor do?

As a Cover Supervisor, you’ll step into the teacher’s shoes when they are absent — without the planning or marking. Your responsibilities will include:

• Delivering engaging, pre-prepared lessons to students aged 11–18
• Keeping classes focused, motivated, and on task
• Managing classroom behaviour calmly and positively
• Feeding back to school staff about lesson progress and behaviour

With no planning workload, your role is to guide, support, and ensure learning continues smoothly.

🌟 Why this role is perfect for you

• No lesson planning required — just bring your energy and commitment
• Flexible working patterns — choose full-time or part-time
• A brilliant stepping stone into teaching or education pathways
• Every day is different — from English to Science to PE!

Whether you’re exploring a future career in teaching or simply seeking a fulfilling role working with young people, this is a fantastic opportunity.

🧠 What we’re looking for

• At least 20 days’ experience working with young people (school, youth work, sports coaching, etc.)
•  Or a degree, but not essential — enthusiasm, reliability, and confidence are key
• Strong communication skills and the ability to build rapport quickly

💼 What’s in it for you?

• Competitive pay (dependent on experience and references)
• Supportive, forward-thinking school environments
• The chance to make a genuine difference in young people’s lives
• Free parking/on-site parking depending on school

Full-time · Part-time · Permanent · Temporary
