Cover Supervisor

Inevitably from time-to-time teaching staff are absent from school or are unable to teach some of their lessons. When cover is required, we usually use other teaching staff who have a non-contact period to cover other classes. The role of the cover supervisor would be to provide cover for absent teachers by supervising their classes and at times their staff duties.
Key Responsibilities

+ Deliver pre-prepared lesson plans and ensure students remain on task
+ Manage classroom behaviour effectively in line with school policies
+ Support students with their learning during lessons where appropriate
+ Maintain accurate records of attendance and report feedback to teaching staff
+ Uphold the school's high expectations for behaviour and engagement
+ Contribute positively to the wider life of the school community

We welcome applications from candidates with a range of backgrounds. The successful candidate will demonstrate:
+ Experience working with children or young people (education experience desirable)
+ The ability to manage a classroom confidently and calmly
+ Strong communication and interpersonal skills
+ A professional, flexible, and dependable approach
