This is an important role, providing the successful applicant with the opportunity to support the school in ensuring that, where necessary, lessons are covered by a dedicated professional who is fully committed to supporting the school’s behaviour management and teaching and learning strategies. The right candidate will have the drive and ambition to demonstrate excellent practice within the classroom across the school. They will put young people first and have the highest expectations of themselves, the pupils and others. Great interpersonal skills and the ability to develop positive relationships with pupils as well as the following of the school’s behaviour systems and procedures are key to effective classroom management. If successful, you will join an existing team of three cover supervisors. You will cover lessons as required and this could be daily or sometimes you will be within a particular subject and department for a period of time, all dependent on need. We teach a broad curriculum and therefore the subjects will vary, for example from English, Maths and History, to Food and Nutrition, Spanish and Dance. As part of our staff, you will be supported and included in our continuous professional development focused on the curriculum, and approaches to teaching and behaviour. You will be expected to follow our Teaching and Learning Policy with the aim of continuously developing and strengthening yourself in the best practice for lesson delivery.
