Job description

Coombe Girls' School and Sixth Form is a comprehensive girls' state secondary school, with a co-educational Sixth Form. The school is heavily oversubscribed and is committed to providing an excellent education to children in the local area. We are proud of the progress our students make from their starting points during their time with us: the school's GCSE Progress 8 score in 2024 was +0.7, and the progress of our 2025 cohort was in the top 25% of the country. The school is proud to be part of the Coombe Academy Trust.

Our school is vibrant and diverse, serving the local area of New Malden. We value every individual and the rich wealth of experience, knowledge, values and beliefs they bring to our school. The experience and talent you will bring to our school will ensure we continue to provide the best education for our students and further increase the breadth of opportunity for the next generation. We particularly encourage applications from colleagues in underrepresented groups and welcome conversations about flexible working opportunities.

We are looking for a Cover Supervisor to support student learning when a teacher is absent due to training, trips, sickness or other reasons. This is an excellent opportunity for a recent graduate or someone early in their career who is interested in gaining valuable experience in a school environment. The role provides real insight into classroom practice and day-to-day school life, making it particularly well suited to those considering a future in teacher training, where school-based experience is highly valued.

This role will be 31.5 hours per week, term time only.

Why work for us?

Coombe Girls' School & Sixth Form is a fantastic and rewarding place to work. Our students are motivated and keen to learn while our creative, engaging staff is committed to providing exceptional teaching to our students. We take the wellbeing of our staff seriously and actively manage workload whilst retaining very high standards. Our staff are highly supportive of one another.
We are a Google school and staff are provided with a Chromebook to support their work. The school is within walking distance of New Malden train station with its fast, direct links to central London and into Surrey and Hampshire. For those travelling by car, parking is available in the school car park, and bike racks and showers are provided for colleagues who are able to cycle to work.
With regards to Personal Development, we pride ourselves on our commitment to CPD. Our staff is supported to access National Professional Qualifications and receives Thrive training. There are opportunities to work collaboratively across all five schools in the Trust (both primary and secondary) as well as with the central Trust team. The Trust looks to provide opportunities for growth for colleagues within the Trust.
