We are building a team of Cover Supervisors in our school. There is opportunity for progression for the right candidate. The team’s remit is to cover for absent teachers, managing the classroom as absences occur as a first port of call. Every day is different, and the variety of the role means you will access many children, subject areas and aspects of our school. You will join our team and become part of our wider team and participate in a strong extra-curricular programme. When not required for cover duties, you will support teachers in classrooms with supporting learning.
There is potential for it to develop into a teaching role longer term and it provides a useful step into teaching within our school or trust for any interested candidate. It’s also an integral role for those who want to work in schools. Previous post holders have used it as a stepping stone into teaching and pastoral work within schools.

• A vibrant and supportive staff body who are proud of their school
• A comprehensive mix of students
• A welcoming school environment with excellent resources and facilities.
