Cover Supervisor

We are recruiting for a permanent Cover Supervisor, with a start date subject to satisfactory references/clearances.

Our current team of Cover Supervisors work to cover lessons in teachers' absence, as directed by our Cover Coordinator, and are line managed by our Deputy Headteacher (Pastoral, Inclusion, and Ethos). Work is provided either by the absent teacher or by their Head of Subject/Department. Cover Supervisors also help by taking a register should a tutor be absent from school, attending an Assembly, or by working as part of a 'pool' of associate tutors supporting students.

In addition, Cover Supervisors also fulfil roles as part of the Duty Team, support students one-to-one, or help with administrative tasks. We provide excellent development opportunities 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.
