We are seeking to recruit an experienced LSA to take on the role of Cover Supervisor, who will be available to cover classes across the school when needed, either due to teacher absence or to enable teacher release time. We are willing to be flexible in the number of days or hours of work for the right candidate.

Powell Corderoy is a small, single-form entry primary school with a strong sense of community set in an absolutely stunning site with oodles of outside space and breathtaking views of the Surrey Hills. The pupils are interested and interesting- the best thing about our lovely school- and are looking forward to meeting prospective candidates for a role which has just become available.

The successful person will need to be highly motivated and flexible, able to adapt at short notice and communicate well with a wide team. Experience of whole class teaching across a range of year groups is desirable, but we would be willing to support the right person to gain this experience. When class cover is not required, you will support learning in classes as needed, under the direction of the Headteacher. You will receive plenty of training and support from the school’s leadership team, and we would be willing to support the right candidate with future SCITT training, should you wish to pursue this route into teaching in future.

The staff team at Powell are very close, welcoming and supportive of one another - we work together with the shared goal of providing the best experiences we can for the children in our care. Training and ongoing professional development is provided as part of the role. If you think you'd be a good fit, please don't hesitate to pick up and phone and arrange to come and see us - we'd love to show you round and chat about the role. We look forward to meeting you! We will be shortlisting on receipt of applications and looking to interview as soon as possible.
