What skills and experience we're looking for
Are you looking to work in a vibrant school community?
We are looking for a reliable and motivational individual who can demonstrate excellent interpersonal and organisational skills and has the natural ability to connect with our students to join our fantastic team of Cover Teachers.
With a flexible approach to working, the successful candidate will be able to create a calm and purposeful class environment and provide support to a variety of staff and students.
You will be an integral part of a friendly and committed team of staff. In this key position, your primary duties will be to supervise a group of students during the short-term absence of their regular teacher to ensure that the work set is understood and completed, whilst maintaining the good behaviour of the students, keeping them on task, responding to questions, and generally assisting students to undertake and engage in the set learning activities.
Prior experience of working in a school would be an advantage but not essential. We provide support and training, including behaviour management skills and there will be opportunities to observe good practice of both classroom teachers and other cover teachers in order to develop good practitioner skills.
In addition to cover supervision, you will be expected to cover some additional duties.
This post would be ideal for an ECT or an aspiring teacher as this role will provide you with first-hand experience of working in a school setting.
