Minerva Learning Trust is an expanding Sheffield based multi-academy Trust with a vision of providing outstanding education for all the students within our schools. The Trust is passionate that all students should see their time at school as happy and fulfilling with their potential developed to the utmost. Stocksbridge High School joined the Trust in December 2017 and is developing this partnership and making rapid improvements for our pupils and community.
Stocksbridge High School is a 11-16 comprehensive school with 800 students on roll. We are an ambitious and inclusive school rooted firmly within our community. We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated and capable Cover Supervisor with well-developed interpersonal skills to:
• Provide cover teaching for classes by delivering set work in the absence of their scheduled teacher.
• Be able to liaise with teachers to discuss cover work set for planned absence and to provide feedback about student progress and behaviour following the covering of lessons.
• Be able to support the use of ICT in delivering lessons and learning activities.
We view the role of cover supervisor as essential to the running of the school and the continuity of learning for young people. It is an ideal opportunity for anyone considering teaching as a career as it provides direct experience of the classroom, the whole school environment and directly working with young people. The successful candidate will have a flexible approach and the confidence and presence to manage whole classes in a professional manner. Applicants should have very good literacy and numeracy skills and the ability and desire to work with young people. In return, you will join a friendly and welcoming school community prepared to develop you as a professional through training and support.
The closing date is 9am on Tuesday 10 December 2024 and interviews will take place week commencing 16 December 2024.
The Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare and safety of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment, further information can be found in our child protection and safeguarding policy on our statutory information page on our website Minerva Learning Trust. The successful candidate will be required to complete an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. In line with KCSIE, the trust will be carrying out online searches on shortlisted candidates as part of their due diligence.
