Deer Park School is a new state of the art seven-form secondary school which opened in September 2021. At present there are just under 700 students on roll across Yr7, 8, 9 & 10. We are part of the RAISE Education Trust which comprises of Deer Park Secondary School, Wildern Secondary School and Boorley Park Primary School. We will have a PAN of 1050 when full.
As we embark on our next phase of growth we are seeking to appoint new members to our team to support us on our journey to excellence. We strive to provide an exceptional educational experience for every student. Our values and culture of ambition, excellence, kindness, inclusion and community underpin this vision.
The Cover Supervisor role offers the successful candidates the perfect opportunity to become involved in the learning of young people. This can be a career in itself, or serve as a springboard to a teaching career or other work with young people in the future. We support our cover supervisors’ specialisms about which they are passionate, whilst also providing breadth of experience. The ability to work as a team and learn new skills is more important than previous experience, and full training will be provided.
Duties include supporting a mixture of classes during the absence of the regular class teacher, setting the work provided, monitoring/managing behaviour and keeping students on task as well as supporting teachers in the classroom. You will have high standards of expectation, deliver lively and engaging lessons from existing plans and support students by responding to questions. Although you will not be teaching, ensuring the students keep on task is most important, so good classroom management is essential. In quieter times, you may also be expected to provide classroom and technician support, exam invigilation and general admin support including working with the Senior Administrative Officer in organising pre planned cover timetables.
We will ensure that the successful candidate has:
- Comprehensive induction including a dedicated mentor.
- Continuous professional learning, development and improvement.
- The opportunity to contribute to raising standards for all our students.
Benefits of working for our Trust include:
- Exceptional team environment where all staff are valued.
- Excellent Continuing Professional Development with high quality CPD programs.
- Many opportunities for career progression.
- Extensive department resources and facilities.
- A tax efficient Cycle-to-Work scheme through salary sacrifice.
- Staff membership rates to our modern Leisure Centre at Wildern School.
- Enrolment in one of the UK’s Largest public sector pension schemes
