The governors of St Mary’s Catholic College are looking to recruit a Cover Supervisor to join our staff team and become an important colleague who ensures that our pupils receive high quality care and support in accessing learning within the classroom in the absence of their teacher.

To attend relevant courses, particularly in relation to Safeguarding, Health and Safety and deal with any immediate emergencies in accordance with the College policies and procedures to ensure that student / employee safety is assured.
