The Role
We are looking to recruit a skilled member of staff to be our new school Cover Supervisor. You will be a flexible and highly capable individual who is able to respond to the needs of the school at short-notice. You will need to be highly organised, adaptable and solution focussed. You will be able to teach and manage different subjects and ages of children in line with the school’s teaching and behaviour expectations. This role is being offered on a fixed term basis for 1 year.
About You
This is an exciting opportunity to know our whole school and contribute to the development of all our children. The role would be well suited to someone who is interested in teaching as a professional career and we can support the right candidate with this development.
The School
Parkside Community College is part of the Cambridge cluster within United Learning and is committed to bringing out ‘The Best in Everyone’ through an education that develops rich knowledge and character.
Parkside Community College is a highly oversubscribed school with a long history of success and an excellent reputation for innovation in education. We are situated in three sets of buildings, with the main site, overlooking Parker’s Piece, opening in 1913. We offer 120 places in each year group and believe deeply in the power of ‘human scale’ education, where every student is very well known and strong relationships help teachers to support their classes to exceptional outcomes.
Our last inspection graded us Outstanding and our GCSE results in 2022 make us one of the highest performing schools in the country, within the top 1% of schools for progress.
Our intake is diverse: we have a large proportion of higher attainers on entry; we also have significant profile of Special Educational Needs. We have many students join us from overseas, with a range of ability in English in the main school.
We are committed to supporting our colleagues to be highly effective teachers: as well as department curriculum time, we develop our teaching as a whole staff every week, informed by Rosenshine’s Principles. We have a behaviour policy that is consistent and enables colleagues to teach without disruption.
