What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking to appoint, as soon as possible, a confident and enthusiastic Cover Supervisor to provide lesson and registration cover to facilitate students’ learning during the short-term absence of teachers. The successful candidate will be responsible for maintaining high standards of behaviour and ensuring set tasks are completed.
The post will suit someone with a natural ability to engage with and build an excellent rapport with young people. This role is a superb opportunity for anyone wishing to gain experience in a school environment, possibly as part of their career development.
Cover Supervisors are linked to a specific department within the school and at times may be deployed to support learning in other classes or undertake some administrative duties. Alternatively, you may be required to undertake lunchtime supervision on days you are not timetabled to cover all periods.
Y0u must be highly organised, possess excellent interpersonal skills and be able to use your initiative. Strong communication skills are essential, as you will be required to liaise between both students and class teachers. You should have proven experience of working with young people in a professional environment, and a good standard of education including Level 2 Numeracy / Literacy skills.
What the school offers its staff
Situated in beautiful West Cornwall this is an exciting opportunity to join our oversubscribed school in beautiful West Cornwall, committed to ensuring the highest quality of education for all our students.
Ofsted (Short inspection November 2016) judged the school as ‘good’ and stated, “Across the school we found that pupils were very keen to learn. Pupils we spoke with enjoy coming to school and feel that they are making good progress. Pupils are well-mannered and keen to tell visitors how good the school is and how it keeps them safe.” A more recent visit in July 2022 by the LA education effectiveness team highlighted how staff create a positive atmosphere and inclusive ethos, leading to all students having a sense of belonging to the Humphry Davy Community.
Commitment to safeguarding
Humphry Davy School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff are subject to pre employment checks which include applying for an enhanced DBS disclosure.
