What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking to appoint an outstanding cover supervisor with energy and enthusiasm and a love for working with young people. This is a wonderful opportunity to join a school within a Trust with great potential, some real strengths and the ability and desire to develop further.

The primary purpose of the Cover Supervisor is to supervise and support pupils who are engaged in learning activities during the short-term or unforeseen absence of their usual class or subject teacher. Such work will have been set in accordance with the school policy. Our Cover Supervisors will continue the high expectations set by teachers of all pupils and maintain respect for their social, cultural, linguistic, religious and ethnic backgrounds.

What the school offers its staff

You are asked to provide the following:

  • A completed application form
  • A letter of application of no more than 2 sides of A4 detailing your experience and expertise

Completed applications should be returned either by email to: recruitment@sast.org.uk

Should you wish to arrange a visit to view the School, please do not hesitate to contact Claire Hamblin, Office Manager on claire.hamblin@kingarthurs.org.uk or at 01963 32368 who will also be happy to arrange this.

SAST will conduct online searches of shortlisted candidates. In line with KCSIE guidance, this will be part of safer recruitment checks, and the search will purely be based on whether an individual is suitable to work with children. As care must be taken to avoid unconscious bias and any risk of discrimination, a person who will not be on the appointment panel will conduct the searches and will only share information if and when findings are relevant and of concern.

SAST values the contributions from all staff from a wide range of different backgrounds and actively seeks to promote an environment that is free from discrimination and harassment and at the same time supports fair promotion and cultural acceptance.

This role is UK- based and your right to work will need to be established as part of the appointment process.

The Trust and School follows the national and Somerset policies and procedures for child protection and security and the interview will include questions about safeguarding children.
