What skills and experience we're looking for
The Role
Cover Supervisor work is excellent experience for those looking to get into the teaching profession or to gain further experience in working with children. We value our staff and provide continuous professional development and Cover Supervisors are included in Alperton’s professional development programme alongside teaching staff. There are also additional opportunities to develop specific areas to support effectiveness in the role. Any time not spent covering lessons will be used for duties relating to the school development plan.
As a Cover Supervisor you will be required to provide effective classroom cover for students aged 11 - 16 in the absence of the main subject teacher and in line with the Alperton expectations for the quality of teaching and learning.
Your day will involve using the in-house procedures to access cover work, prepare resources to be used in the classroom and dealing with any immediate problems or emergencies according to the school’s policies/procedures. You will also contribute to the vast array of the school’s extra-curricular activities we offer to our students across all year groups.
