Are you ready to inspire the next generation? As a Cover Supervisor at The Trinity Catholic School, you’ll play a key role in ensuring our students continue to thrive — even when their usual teacher is absent. Every day is different, and every lesson is an opportunity to make a genuine impact.

You’ll create a purposeful, positive learning environment, guide students through pre-prepared work, and help them stay focused and engaged so their learning never misses a beat.

If you’re passionate about supporting young people, committed to helping them achieve their potential, and excited to be part of a warm, faith‑centred community, we’d love to hear from you.

This is your chance to take on a dynamic role leading lessons across KS3 and KS4, with occasional opportunities to work with KS5, and to contribute to the wider life of our welcoming Academy.

This is a permanent role starting 13 April 2026, working 32.5 hours per week, term time only.
