Cover Supervisor job summary

This is an exciting opportunity to join us as a Cover Supervisor and be part of a dedicated team of people who support teaching staff and students by providing classroom cover, implementing set work, monitoring students and providing lesson/student feedback to teaching staff.

You will need to be enthusiastic, committed and a forward-looking individual with excellent communication skills.

The Cover Supervisor plays a key role in delivering teaching support to our students where teaching staff are absent, thereby minimising any disruption to our students learning. Although duties involve the interpretation of recognised procedures and guidelines, you will be expected to use initiative and respond independently to unexpected problems and situations.
