Cover Supervisor job summary

The Bridge Education Centre provides education for KS3 and KS4 pupils who have experienced difficulties in mainstream school. We are looking to extend our support team in supporting teaching staff to provide relevant learning experiences for our pupils, many of whom exhibit distressful behaviour due to underlying social emotional and mental health needs.

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and dynamic person, who is highly motivated and committed and has experience of working in a school environment. You will bring warmth, sound judgement and a genuine commitment to helping pupils succeed. You will be able to set clear expectations while responding sensitively to individual needs, and remain calm and constructive when situations are challenging.

The child lies at the heart of our practice and you would be able to demonstrate: unconditional positive regard, academic excellence, the highest expectations for the children and yourself, develop a restorative teaching approach to behaviour and possess the dynamism, imagination and skill to work collaboratively at all levels toward improved outcomes for our children.

The position will involve providing teaching cover during periods of absence and leave. A day on cover can include delivering lessons to any of our KS3/KS4 classes across an array of subjects. This is a varied and exciting role where no two days are the same. When not actively covering lessons, you will work closely within our therapeutic team to proactively support and manage pupil behaviour across the centre

If you currently work in a school, please ensure one of your references is from your current Headteacher.

Please submit your application as soon as possible as we may invite candidates to interview before the closing date. Closing Date: Midnight, Sunday 03rd January 2027
