We are looking for an enthusiastic and talented cover supervisor to join our existing cover team, providing classroom cover across our Aylsham Learning Federation Schools. This post will be based at Aylsham High School and the main focus will be AHS cover however our cover supervisors work across all schools in our federation - Aylsham High School, Bure Valley School and John of Gaunt Infant and Nursery School - and this could mean working flexibly across more than one school in one day.

The cover supervision role will sometimes include other activities such as covering for a teaching assistant, technician, administrative roles and medical needs office.
