What skills and experience we're looking for

About the role

You will supervise classes or groups of students, undertaking activities that have previously been prepared by appropriate teaching staff when the assigned teacher is not present on a short-term basis. There may also be a requirement to work with individuals or groups of students at other times to support learning or pastoral activities or to provide other relevant support to teaching staff.

About you

It is essential that you will have the ability to promote and safeguard the safety and welfare of students in accordance with CSET wide and school policies. You will be personable, approachable and a self-starter. You will be willing to learn and be interested in developing new skills. You’ll have great organisational skills and be able to multitask. You’ll be able to deal helpfully, politely and tactfully with colleagues, parents, pupils and senior management. You can manage your own workload and meet deadlines, which may at times be competing. This role could be a great stepping stone for someone looking to develop a career in teaching, or a qualified teacher looking to remain in the education sector without a full teaching role.

This is a warm and friendly school with a family feel where
each child is appreciated and cared for who they are, as well
as what they achieve and go on to become.

Being a smaller than average secondary school, our size is
definitely our strength. We pride ourselves on being a kind
and caring student focussed school, where every member of
staff makes it their business to get to know each child as
soon as they enter the Marlwood family.

Our pastoral care is second to none. Our dedicated pastoral
staff work very closely with students to understand their
needs and provide the very best support and care. After all,
happy children are more likely to be successful children!
Marlwood has recently received investment that is funding a
facelift of the school to include new classrooms for art,
design technology and science. The school also benefits
from expansive grounds including tennis courts, astro pitch
and a multi-purpose playing field. There is a real sense of
fresh air at the school!
