Permanent contract
This is an exciting opportunity to work in a vibrant environment, supporting and motivating young people with their learning. Redland Green School is part of Excalibur Academies Trust. The role of a cover supervisor is wide-ranging and varied. It involves working with the full range of students of all abilities, from age 11 to 16, in all subject areas of the curriculum. The core purpose of the role is to ensure continuity of learning through providing a cover service for absent teachers, supervising classes/groups of students and ensuring that they carry out the work set by their teacher.
The role is a superb opportunity for anyone wishing to gain further experience in an outstanding school environment as part of their career development and offers invaluable experience.
Please note that a teaching qualification is not required for this role.
You should enjoy working with young people and establish productive working relationships, acting as a role model, setting high and upholding expectations for learning and behaviour. Cover supervisors use the same systems as teaching colleagues to ensure positive learning behaviour in lessons and constructive, calm learning environments.
New cover supervisors are supported by the cover team and are given the opportunity to spend time observing established colleagues in the classroom. Time is also dedicated to developing the key skills required for delivering cover lessons, including: managing a classroom, preparation for cover lessons, opening and closing lessons and behaviour management.
In addition to providing cover for absent teachers, cover supervisors also support other areas of the school when required and where capacity permits. This includes deputising for the cover manager in deploying cover staff and agency staff to lessons.
About Redland Green School:
Redland Green school is a special place, with a community culture, in which everyone belongs. With our values of RESPECT, AMBITION and RESPONSIBILITY at the centre of all we do, we are immensely proud of the atmosphere of care and kindness felt in classrooms and corridors, offices and social spaces.
Whilst academic excellence is always a focus, it is our dedication to whole-person development that makes our school unique. We promote and prioritise staff learning just as much as student learning; believing that teachers and support staff, engaged in their own development, make the very best role models and create exciting classrooms for our students. We do not believe in a one-size fits all approach to education and so welcome teachers with a love of their subject, who are keen to learn more about their craft and plan effective and exciting lessons.
As such we offer an excellent CPD programme. This has been designed to sustain a professional and vibrant learning community, where every member of staff sees themselves as a learner and contributes to the continued development of the school. With this in mind, we are looking for staff with the creative energy and commitment to make the most of the opportunities available, fostering the very best climate for learning, for all our young people.
If appointed at RGS, you will be welcomed into a community that cares for you, challenges and champions your development, with a commitment to your career in education, that will be happy and successful.
