What skills and experience we're looking for
This is an exciting time to join a significantly improving school and one which 82% of parents would recommend the school to another parent. As a result of increasing the student numbers, and our Year 7 cohort for September 2023 being significantly oversubscribed, we are looking to expand our team at Court Fields School.
Our school is part of the Blackdown Education Partnership, we believe that our schools should sit at the heart of our communities; that there are no limits to what our children and young people can achieve; and that they should be great places to work and learn.
Court Fields’ staff and students are committed to improving rapidly to be a great school where every child, regardless of background, achieves well, feels they belong to our community and fully participates in school life to develop character and resilience to succeed.
The Cover Supervisor/Lead Practitioner has an important role within the school, supporting and supervising the learning of students when teaching colleagues are absent. In addition to this, Cover Supervisors are required to cover lunchtime supervision occasionally as well as supporting in various areas of the school when there are no lesson cover requirements.
The post does not require qualified teacher status, although applicants with this status are most welcome to apply and often people use this role as a stepping stone into teaching as a career. An enthusiasm for education and learning, and a commitment to supporting and working with young people are vital personal qualities for this role. Previous experience in a similar role is desirable but not essential, as training will be provided.
