We would like to extend a warm welcome from all pupils, staff, governors and trustees of Rhyddings. Rhyddings serves the East Lancashire old mill town of Oswaldtwistle and surrounding area of Hyndburn. It has been at the heart of the community for over 90 years and although a smaller than average high school, but expanding, we cater for pupils from a diverse range of backgrounds. The school enjoys good transport links via the M65 corridor and adjoining networks of M6 and M66.
Rhyddings are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, committed, skilled and highly effective Cover Supervisor to further support our successful and growing team. We are looking for an outstanding individual to assist in the organisation and management of the school’s cover arrangements. This will include supervising classes across the curriculum so a good general knowledge is required. As well as delivering lessons to pupils with work set by teachers, you will also support agency staff at the start of the school day and liaise with agencies.
Overseen by a member of the senior leadership team and working closely with subject leaders and all staff, this is a varied, challenging yet highly rewarding role where no two days are the same. There is plenty of scope to work independently with initiative as well as in collaboration with your colleagues.
We want someone who is an excellent organiser, problem solver and above all flexible, with the ability to remain calm under pressure and retain their sense of humour!
Experience of working in schools, ideally in the secondary sector, but not exclusively, and with young people more generally, supporting curriculum delivery alongside teaching staff for both planned and unforeseen absences is at the core of this post. They will be effective and efficient and able to form positive working relationships in all aspects of the role.
Responsibilities
1. Assisting with daily cover arrangements
2. Organising pupil work and resources
3. Covering absent colleagues
4. Supervising classes, small groups and some 1:1 provision
The successful candidate will also work closely with our supply agencies, teaching staff and the wider pastoral and inclusion teams.
