Do you thrive in a dynamic environment where every day brings new challenges and opportunities to inspire young minds?

If so, Queen Katharine Academy is looking for you!

Your role:

As a Cover Supervisor, you’ll play a vital role in maintaining continuity of learning during teacher absences by delivering pre-set lessons across a range of subjects at Key Stages 3 and 4.
