What skills and experience we're looking for

Required from April 2026, we are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and organised Cover Supervisor to join the staff of our outstanding school.

The Cover Supervisor’s role involves the delivery of work which is set for students in the case of their usual teacher’s absence. This is not a teaching position but the Cover Supervisor is expected to ensure that students remain on task and complete work to the best of their ability. There are also additional administration duties in curriculum areas to perform if the cover supervisor is not needed to cover absent colleagues.

The successful applicants will be enthusiastic, confident and well-organised and share the school’s commitment to helping all students achieve their potential. They will also need to have had some experience of working with young people, preferably in education.

This position may suit someone who is considering a career in teaching. Ranelagh enjoys links with Reading University and the Bracknell Forest Secondary Schools Training Partnership, supporting the training of between 5 and 10 trainee teachers each year.

What the school offers its staff

In addition to excellence in terms of academic outcomes, our purpose is to provide a supportive, stimulating and secure environment in which young people can thrive. As such, we seek to employ inspirational and energetic staff, committed to the school’s ethos. In return, we aim to provide opportunities for continuing professional growth and development for all staff, beginning with a well-established induction.

Further information about the job

The candidate will be required to undergo a full enhanced DBS check and must be eligible to work in the UK.

Visas cannot be sponsored.

Commitment to safeguarding

Ranelagh School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. All staff employed in the school must be aware that an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check will be undertaken.
