About the roles
We are recruiting two Cover Supervisors to join our support staff team, each with a specific phase focus:
Post 1 – EYFS and Year 1: working alongside our SENDCo/Early Years Leader and class teachers to support children in our early years and Key Stage 1 environment.
Post 2 – Years 2 to 6: working across year groups, including supporting the delivery of our oracy and writing curriculum and evidence-informed interventions.
In both roles, you will supervise whole classes during short-term teacher absence, delivering pre-set learning activities with confidence and consistency. When not covering, you will work alongside teachers to support individuals and small groups, contribute to assessment and planning, and help maintain the positive and purposeful learning environment our children thrive in.

- Experience of working with children in a school setting, ideally across more than one year group
- Strong behaviour management skills, including de-escalation approaches
- The ability to deliver pre-planned lessons independently and manage a class effectively
- A good understanding of child development, learning strategies and the National Curriculum
- Knowledge of SEND and experience of adapting support for a range of needs
- NVQ Level 3 or equivalent (Level 3 Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools preferred)
- GCSE Grade 4 or above in English and Maths, or equivalent
- A genuine commitment to safeguarding and the welfare of children
What the school offers its staff

- A warm, collegiate staff team with a strong sense of shared purpose
