Welcome to CoverSupervisors.co.uk This site is dedicated to those working as Cover Supervisors & Higher Level Teaching Assistants (HLTA), as well as those who may seek to recruit and employ them, such as recruitment agencies, schools, nurseries and after school clubs. Although we have placed the job title of ‘Cover Supervisor’ along with that of ‘Higher Level Teaching Assistant’, it is important to note that these are not necessarily the same! However, it is assumed that both of these roles will include the supervision of whole classes from time to time and as such HLTA’s are included as part of this site, in that context. For more specific information on HLTA’s please go to: www.teaching-assistants.co.uk This site provides an online forum (message board) where those looking for jobs, staff, advice, support, as well as wanting to exchange ideas and resources with those in similar positions, can do so freely anytime. Most importantly of all, our FREE online newsletter will regularly contain a round up of essential information and news & views for cover supervisors & higher level teaching assistants, as well as jobs and other articles of direct interest for those employed as school support staff.

My advise to anyone taking on this role is dont take it personally, take each lesson as it comes, relax and stop blaming yourself when you have a bad lesson. Do all this and the role is great. Maybe Im lucky as I only work 3 days a week and would feel a bit different if I was doing 5 days per week, because I know by the end of each week I would be exhausted. Way up what you are losing against what you could get out of this job, but don't think its an easy job, babysitting classes of students who are all going to do what you tell them to, because to start with that won't happen. But over time they get to know you and your lessons change for the better Read the full thread... If you have seen an offensive or unsuitable post, please report it to us.
