Do you want a job that is fulfilling? Do you love and value supporting young people? Do you believe in the opportunity for every child to have the best possible opportunity to learn? Are you patient, tenacious, optimistic and a great communicator? Then Ashby School could be the place for you!

We are looking to expand our excellent team of Cover Supervisors to support students in the case of absence of their usual classroom teacher. We want to appoint an individual who can command respect, who understands how to communicate with young people, who is interested in being a learner and who works well as part of a team. We also seek to appoint someone who understands that this role is not always needed every lesson of every day and, as such, is willing to work with students in alternative capacities supporting learning in its broadest sense.

Cover Supervisor is also an excellent opportunity to start your journey into teaching. We believe that Ashby is a great place for students to take their next educational steps. We also believe it is an equally great place to consider your next steps into a role in education. Whether this is building experience for an application to train as a teacher or exploring whether education is a good fit for you, this role is offered in conjunction with a full suite of continuing professional development.

Hours of work are 8.30 am – 3.25pm Monday to Friday with 40 minutes unpaid lunch. This is for 38 weeks plus 2 training days. This is a permanent contract.

All applications to be completed via ETeach by 9am on Monday 8th December 2025.
