Are you enthusiastic about education and looking for a rewarding role within an Outstanding rated school? We are seeking to recruit dedicated Cover Supervisors to join our team. This is an excellent opportunity for individuals who are passionate about supporting students’ learning and development. Your primary responsibility will be to supervise and engage students in pre-planned lessons across various subject areas. However, we will aim to assign you to subjects which you have a particular interest in where possible. This would be an excellent opportunity for someone considering a career as a secondary teacher, as many of our previous cover supervisors have gone on to complete their teacher training. Should you wish to be part of our future we welcome your application.
About our school:- We are a high performing and oversubscribed comprehensive school in Oxford with approximately 2,000 students on roll, including 680 in the Sixth Form. We are delighted that we were judged ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted (October 2022), as we feel this is a fair reflection of the school, not least as we recognize that we have the capacity to develop and improve further. We consider ourselves to be a school which has at its heart “opportunity, responsibility, excellence” and we aim to make this a deeper reality for all of our students and staff in the years to come. If you would like to have an informal discussion about the role, prior to application, please email HR@cherwellschool.org or ask to speak to a member of our HR team on 01865 558719.
