Biddenham is an 11-19, oversubscribed school that, as we expand, is entering the next phase of its development. Due to our popularity, we need to grow and strengthen our already high performing staff team who, by 2025, will be working with 1600 students.

To that end, we are expanding our Cover team and seek to appoint motivated and enthusiastic Cover Supervisors who will work to cover lessons across all subjects in the school. We work collaboratively to provide high standards of learning and teaching for every student. The successful candidates will also work alongside the Learning Support Department.

We would love to hear from you if you are:

Able to work with and inspire young people,
Creative and innovative,
Dedicated to improving the learning outcomes of all students,
Passionate about teaching and learning.

As a school we offer:

A diverse workplace,
Chromebooks for all classroom staff and students,
Exceptional professional development and career progression,
A supportive environment for ECTs allowing them to thrive,
Positive working relationships at all levels (with a healthy dose of humour!),
A supportive leadership team,
A genuine focus on staff wellbeing with an employee support resource,
Children of staff are prioritised in our admissions criteria,
Cycle to work scheme for all staff.

These positions would ideally suit degree qualified candidates who are interested in gaining teaching experience prior to applying for a teaching qualification. Our Cover Supervisors often move into the teaching profession. Biddenham has a comprehensive professional development programme and has successfully trained many graduates who have gained their teaching qualification through us.

Applications are welcome from degree qualified candidates and experienced practitioners, but we will also consider candidates educated to Level 3/A Level. Previous applicants need not apply.

Biddenham - ‘Opening Minds - Transforming Lives’.

Biddenham School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will be subject to an enhanced DBS check, children’s barred list check, references and social media checks.
