“Being the best version of Sprowston Community Academy that we can be”

We are seeking to appoint a Cover Supervisor to support pupils in and out of the classroom, including supervision of whole classes during short term absence of teachers. The role will involve working under the day to day guidance of teaching staff and the Cover Manager, and individuals will be expected to be adaptable and well organised in their approach.

• Possess former classroom experience

• Have experience of working with young people

• Have excellent communication skills to motivate students and gain their respect

• Have a strong understanding of behaviour management and restorative practice

• Be able to work independently and as part of a team

• Support external cover staff

• Have a real passion to foster the culture of our ‘Sprowston Virtues’

We are exceptionally proud of our place within the local community and our strong local reputation reflects this. We are an inclusive school and believe passionately that students need to be equipped as good citizens as well as good learners. The successful applicant will work with us to fully promote this ethos whilst also striving for academic excellence.

As part of the role we would include CPD that develops your ability and confidence applying our behaviour and reward system, understanding our teaching and learning cycle and applying adaptive teaching strategies within the classroom.
