Cover Supervisor job summary

York High School are seeking to recruit a Cover Supervisor to join our existing Cover Team as soon as possible.

The central focus of the Cover Supervisor’s role is to take responsibility for the learning, behaviour and progress of classes during the absence of the designated teacher by delivering pre-prepared lessons.

This role would suit those considering a teaching career, but applications are welcome from any candidate who feels they can make a difference to the lives of young people.

The trust will be undertaking a job evaluation exercise in the near future and, therefore, the grade for this position may change.

We would strongly encourage any prospective candidate to visit the school. Please email Dawn Becton, PA to Principal and Office Manager, at d.becton@yorkhigh.elt.org.uk if you would like to arrange a visit.
