We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, independent and motivated Cover Supervisor to join our growing school, which opened in September 2023.
The role is to provide effective cover lessons when teachers are unavailable to teach their normal lessons. 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 candidate will be organised, friendly, have an excellent manner with young people and a good sense of humour.
We are not seeking an expert in every subject, rather someone who can deliver a wide variety of lessons across the curriculum with confidence and empathy.

The successful candidates will have an uncompromising commitment to student achievement with a mind-set that all young people can experience success. Weldon Village Academy is a school where every member of staff makes a profound difference to the life chances of young people and you will have the rare opportunity to build something incredible.
Weldon Village Academy is at the heart of the community and a school where every child is known, valued and supported, values intrinsic to Meridian Trust Schools.
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.
