Cover supervisor


Explanation:
I think this is the nearest term in use in England these days. It's fairly similar to what' les surveillants' did in the CES I worked in about 30 years ago in France. In France they tended to be University students working to support themselves through their studies. In England at the moment they can be students, retired people, experienced Teaching Assistants etc.
They are used in Secondary Schools, as teachers now have protected non-contact time.
