Cover Supervisor job summary

Oakgrove School requires a Cover Supervisor to join the cover team at our Secondary Site. This position involves supervising classes when teachers are absent and delivering the work that teachers have set to minimise disruption to students' learning. Our Cover Supervisors also support the school library, 6th Form Study Centre, student services and after school clubs so other skill sets, such as customer services, are an advantage. No previous teaching experience is necessary but a calm, confident and professional manner is essential. The successful applicant will also need to be adaptable, motivated and have the ability to use their initiative in the classroom. The core hours for this position are 8:15am - 3:15pm (32.5hrs pw). For an exceptional candidate who can successfully contribute to wider school responsibilities we would consider a finish time of 4:15pm (37 hours pw)

Oakgrove has a reputation for achieving the highest results, for attainment and progress, in Milton Keynes for both KS4 and KS5 and we are very proud of the successes of our students. The behaviour of our students has been described as exemplary. We have a history of achieving exceptional results and destinations for our students. The staff team at Oakgrove is highly dedicated and supportive and we welcome new staff who share our ethos.

We may invite applicants to interview before the closing date. We reserve the right to close this vacancy early in the event of us receiving a large volume of applications.
