What skills and experience we're looking for

The University of Kent Academies Trust is seeking dedicated individuals to join Chatham Grammar as Cover Supervisors. In this role, you’ll be responsible for supervising classes during short-term teacher absences, whether planned or unexpected. You’ll facilitate students’ learning by supporting pre-set activities, answering their questions, and managing classroom behaviour according to Trust policy. This is a permanent, full-time, term-time position, but flexible working patterns may be accommodated.

This position is not only fulfilling but also an excellent opportunity for those considering a career in teaching or transitioning from a full-time teaching role. Many of our Cover Supervisors have successfully moved into teacher training with the Trust, and we are eager to support you if you wish to follow this path.

To excel, you should be well-organised, confident, and a strong team player. While prior classroom experience is beneficial, it’s not essential. We value flexibility, resilience, good numeracy and literacy skills, and effective communication.

If you’re interested in a role that offers both immediate rewards and future career opportunities, we encourage you to apply.

What the school offers its staff

The successful applicant will be coming to a multi-academy trust-wide supportive learning environment, characterised by open management, and in the knowledge that they will enjoy the full support and care of the pragmatic (and down-to-earth) leadership team. We have a dynamic, innovative team of professional staff who want to make a difference to the lives, aspirations and opportunities of our young people. We would encourage applicants to visit the UKAT website to view the many employee benefits on offer: https://www.universityofkentacademiestrust.org.uk/careers-with-ukat.

Further details about the role

Your application should be made after reading the job description and person specification, and you will use the application to tell us how your current skills and experience fit the requirements and why you think you would be suited to this role.

We are keen to attract top talent to our inclusive Trust, and therefore, we welcome applications from all people across the community spectrum regardless of their race, religion, ethnicity, sexuality, sexual orientation, disability, gender reassignment or age.

The University of Kent Academies Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service
