Slough and Eton is looking for someone to join our in-class support staff as a Cover Supervisor, working on Thursdays and Fridays. This is an exciting opportunity for anyone interested in a career in teaching to work in a classroom setting and to gain valuable experience whilst also making a difference to the education of our students on a daily basis.
Cover Supervisors take classes when the regular teacher is absent. They make sure students are completing the work set by the teacher, support those who need additional help to complete what has been set and feedback to the teachers afterwards. When not supervising in class you will be observing the practice of others to support you when leading in the classroom and will be linked to one of the core subject areas (English, Maths or Science).
Previous Cover Supervisor or Learning Support Assistant experience would be helpful, but is not essential as we will provide all the necessary training to help you to be successful. The Cover Supervisor team are hardworking, dedicated to ensuring students of all abilities can succeed and, crucially, committed to being a great role model in the classroom.
We are relentlessly focused on ensuring great teaching, learning and experiences are at the core of what we do in line with our mantra: Work Hard, Be Nice, No Excuses. We value experienced teachers joining our staff team as much as we do those new to the profession and encourage teachers at all stages of their career to apply. We also welcome applications from colleagues who may wish to explore flexible working arrangements.
