This is a key post as a Cover Supervisor
The successful candidate will take up their post as soon as possible, subject to satisfactory clearances.
Our current team of Cover Supervisors work to cover lessons in teachers’ absence, as directed by our Cover Administrator, and are line managed by our Deputy Headteacher (Behaviour, Inclusion, and Ethos). Work is provided either by the absent teacher or by their Head of Subject. Cover Supervisors also help by taking a register should a Tutor be absent from school, attending an Assembly, or by working as an Associate Tutor supporting students. In addition, Cover Supervisors lend other support by taking a Duty or helping with administrative tasks. We provide excellent development for our Cover Supervisors with many going on to pursue a career in teaching. For those already qualified as a teacher, we are sometimes able to offer a temporary teaching contract.
This post provides a unique opportunity to develop new skills in a school which has a compelling vision and deep commitment to providing exceptional teaching and learning.
