Cover Supervisor (Fluent Welsh Speaker) - Cardiff Council

Ready to lead the classroom through the medium of Welsh?

If you're a confident Welsh-speaking Cover Supervisor who enjoys working with young people, thrives on variety, and can step into a classroom with confidence, we'd love to hear from you.

Elementa Support Services is partnering with welcoming Welsh-medium secondary schools across South Wales to find enthusiastic Cover Supervisors who are ready to support pupils, maintain excellent learning environments, and make a real difference every day.

Whether you're looking for long-term stability, flexible supply work, or valuable classroom experience before teacher training, we've got opportunities waiting.

What you'll be doing

No two days are the same, but you'll be:

  • Delivering pre-planned lessons through the medium of Welsh when teachers are absent

  • Managing classrooms confidently to ensure pupils remain engaged and on task

  • Supporting positive behaviour and creating an inclusive learning environment

  • Providing guidance and encouragement to individuals and small groups where needed

  • Working closely with teaching and pastoral staff to support pupils' progress and wellbeing

  • Upholding safeguarding procedures and promoting high expectations across the school

  • Becoming a valued member of the wider school community

What we're looking for

You'll ideally have:

  • Fluency in spoken and written Welsh – this is essential

  • Experience working with children or young people in a school, sports, youth work or similar setting

  • Excellent communication and classroom management skills

  • Confidence leading a class independently using pre-prepared lesson plans

  • A calm, organised and professional approach

  • Education Workforce Council (EWC) registration, or be willing to obtain it

  • An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service, or willingness to apply (we can help)

Bonus points if you have:

  • Previous experience as a Cover Supervisor, Teaching Assistant or Teacher

  • Experience working in Welsh-medium education

  • A degree or aspirations to train as a teacher

  • Experience supporting pupils with ALN/Additional Learning Needs

  • A flexible, proactive attitude and a great sense of teamwork
