We wish to recruit a Cover Manager with a positive and proactive approach to ensure the smooth and efficient deployment of cover arrangements for staff, ensuring lessons have cover when required. You will also be required to supervise the learning of whole classes during the short-term absence of the class teacher as they undertake the work set. The primary focus when supervising will be to ensure ongoing progress to learning, maintain behaviour and keep students on task.
The successful candidate will be enthusiastic, flexible and have the ability to work under pressure to tight deadlines.
The role can be fast paced and challenging so we are looking for someone who possesses excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to remain calm and professional under pressure.
