The Romsey School is seeking to appoint a Cover Supervisor to join our enthusiastic and committed team, who work closely with teachers to provide continuity to pupil’s learning during teacher absences. Initially this post is for this academic year ending in July 25.

If this sounds like you, whether you are an experienced Cover Supervisor or looking to gain experience, we would like to hear from you.

The Cover Supervisor post offers the successful candidates the perfect opportunity to become involved in the learning of young people. It is ideally suited to candidates who:

  • Are considering teaching as a future career.
  • Have the ability to work as a team and learn new skills (this is more important than previous experience, and full training will be provided).
  • Work collaboratively with all members of the Romsey School community.

The role of a Cover Supervisor is to support a mixture of classes during the absence of the regular class teacher. Although you will not be teaching, ensuring the pupils are kept on task is most important, so good classroom management is a must.

The Romsey School is a high attaining comprehensive school, committed to high quality inclusive education. Staff really enjoy working at Romsey, our recent OFSTED Report June 2023 (graded ‘Good’), highlights; “Staff say that senior leaders are considerate of their workload and well-being”.

  • Access to the staff benefits programme which includes the ‘cycle to work’ scheme
  • Focus on staff well-being, including 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme, free flu vaccination and eye care vouchers.
