Each Thrive school is a dynamic community of staff, pupils, and families working together to unlock every child’s potential.

The Opportunity

Kelvin Hall School is looking to appoint staff to our Cover Supervisor Team to complement the work of teachers. This role will mainly involve taking responsibility for providing cover and supervision for classes of pupils in the absence of the teacher, including the delivery of planned lessons and learning activities to support the progress of pupils.

Should no cover be required, there will be other agreed duties to support the school, which may involve supporting pupils primarily with SEN, preparing and delivering learning activities to individuals or groups of SEN pupils.

What You Will Bring

We are looking for a committed practitioner to support and implement our strategies for working with students to overcome barriers to learning. We are looking for someone who believes in building strong relationships with students and is willing to go the extra mile to support them in being successful in school.

The position demands high professional standards and experience of working with adolescents/young adults

What We Offer

• An inclusive and forward-thinking school within a supportive Multi-Academy Trust

• Opportunities for professional growth through leadership development programmes

• Access to our staff benefits platform, including retail discounts, gym membership offers, and savings schemes such as cycle-to-work

• Membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme

Should you wish to have an informal and completely confidential discussion or to arrange a visit, please contact Alex Rey (PA to the Headteacher/SLT) via email at info@kelvinhall.net or telephone Kelvin Hall School on 01482 342229 to arrange this.
