The Role

The Cover Supervisor will supervise classes during the short-term absence of the class teacher, implement work programmes, manage pupil behaviours, and assist pupils in relevant activities.
The post holder will work under the guidance of teaching and senior staff to secure good outcomes for all students. In addition, the post holder will actively promote the academy’s values and assist teaching staff in narrowing the gap between disadvantaged and other children.

* Every child benefits from a wide range of enriching opportunities because we place great emphasis on their personal development.
* Every child benefits from dedicated leaders, teachers and staff who are relentless in their ambition to improve the quality of teaching in our academies because we know excellent teaching is key to transforming the futures of our students.
Applicants will join a well-led and motivated team committed to continuous improvement. This is an ideal opportunity for a colleague who is ambitious, creative, and enthusiastic about helping students to learn in a strong supportive environment.
In return we will offer you:
* Access to support and guidance from other subject leaders across the MAT and form subject expertise within the Academy SLT.
* Bespoke Continual Professional Development (in the academy and online via the National College).
* Discounts at nationwide retailers.
* Employee assistance programme.
