What skills and experience we're looking for
Rhyddings are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, committed, skilled and highly effective Cover Supervisor to further support our successful and growing team. We are looking for an outstanding individual to assist in the organisation and management of the school’s cover arrangements. This will include supervising classes across the curriculum so a good general knowledge is required. As well as delivering lessons to pupils with work set by teachers, you will also support agency staff at the start of the school day and liaise with agencies. Overseen by a member of the senior leadership team and working closely with subject leaders and all staff, this is a varied, challenging yet highly rewarding role where no two days are the same. There is plenty of scope to work independently with initiative as well as in collaboration with your colleagues. We want someone who is an excellent organiser, problem solver and above all flexible, with the ability to remain calm under pressure and retain their sense of humour! This role primarily requires experience working in schools, ideally secondary, supporting teachers with curriculum delivery during both planned and unforeseen absences. You'll need to be effective and efficient, capable of building positive working relationships with pupils and staff. As a Cover Supervisor, you will be an integral part of our teaching and learning team, playing a crucial role in ensuring the continuity of education during teacher absences. This is an exciting opportunity to gain significant classroom experience and develop your skills in behaviour management, pupil engagement, and curriculum support

We play a part in Initial Teacher Training as part of our remit through the Embrace SCITT. We have successfully trained primary and secondary teachers over the last 10 years with a large number employed locally and within the LET Education Trust. If you have the highest standards of professional endeavour, integrity and ethics and would like to be part of our growing MAT, I look forward to receiving your application.

All staff fully comply with the school’s policies/procedures, attend appropriate training, inform the designated person of any concerns, record any potential safeguarding incidents appropriately. Staff are responsible for their own actions and behaviour and should avoid any conduct which would lead any reasonable person to question their motivation and intentions. Staff should work, and be seen to work, in an open and transparent way.

Rhyddings is a warm, welcoming and friendly community. We believe we should all try our Personal Best and accept No Excuses. This culture, alongside high-quality lessons is ensuring our school is moving from strength to strength.
We continue to work hard to prepare the young people we serve and help them realise and reach their potential, providing them with the very best educational experiences. We have been at the heart of the community for over 90 years and although a smaller than average high school, but expanding, we cater for pupils from a diverse range of backgrounds.
Rhyddings serves the East Lancashire old mill town of Oswaldtwistle and surrounding area of Hyndburn. The school enjoys good transport links via the M65 corridor and adjoining networks of M6 and M66.
Pupils are well supported through our Pastoral Year and House Continent system, with year group tutoring further supporting the child. This provides the care and guidance pupils need to perform well across the curriculum as well as healthy competition throughout the year.
We have an active extra-curricular programme and run a number of annual residential trips both here and abroad. Close links with the local Rotary Club provides access to bespoke programmes, community work and charitable activities. Pupils also have the opportunity to participate and complete their Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award and some participate in The King’s Trust programme.
