We are seeking to appoint a confident and enthusiastic individual to provide lesson and registration cover to facilitate students’ learning during the short-term absence of teachers.

The Cover Supervisor plays an important role in our college, maintaining continuity of education for students in the absence of their regular teacher, ensuring that the work set is understood and completed and promoting high standards of conduct and learning. You will be an integral part of a friendly and committed team of staff. You must also be able to work on your own initiative as well as in a team.

The post is an ideal stepping stone for anyone seeking a career in education and a number of former cover supervisors have gone on to complete teacher training successfully. Prior experience of working in a school would be an advantage but not essential.

The successful applicant will be morally aligned to our whole school ethos, have a positive, adaptable approach, and have the ability to create strong relationships with both students and staff.

Kingsthorpe College is an oversubscribed 11-18 school with approximately 1,400 students on roll (200 students post 16). Graded Good in all areas by Ofsted in December 2019, we are now looking forward to the next stage of our journey from good to Great. During a recent interim inspection, inspectors noted significant improvements since their previous visit, highlighting high expectations of pupils, strong pupil progress, our safe and secure learning environment, and enriched curriculum. They also praised Trust and school leadership. With our Trust growing, we are likely to have many more career development opportunities coming up in future.
