We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, independent and motivated Cover Supervisor to join our growing school, which opened in September 2023.

It requires great flexibility, confidence and adaptability; the ability to be able to switch between teaching maths one lesson and history the next!

The successful candidates will have an uncompromising commitment to student achievement with a mind-set that all young people can experience success.

The Opportunity:

  • A brand new state of the art school that will steadily grow year on year
  • A post with the potential for future progression both within this role and the wider trust
  • The support of the wider trust network of experts and access to informal and formal professional development
  • A school with a passionate commitment to staff development
  • Staff social activities that include staff wellbeing activities

Benefits of working for us:

As a multi-academy trust of 30 schools, Meridian Trust can provide a wide network of opportunities for collaboration and career development for both teaching and support staff. With an initial teaching training facility and a teaching hub network within our Trust, there are ample opportunities to both, get into teaching, and develop within the profession.
