Job overview

The College is seeking to appoint a Cover Supervisor to support our teaching team and facilitate the smooth and effective delivery of the curriculum across all school subject areas. The role of the cover supervisor demands flexibility and initiative.   Your focus will be on supporting progress by providing classroom supervision for students whose regular teacher is absent. You will be expected to deliver pre-planned learning activities and establish productive working relationships with students in a stimulating and orderly learning environment. 

This is an excellent opportunity for an individual looking to gain experience working with secondary age children, and would be an ideal position for someone looking to develop valuable skills towards a possible teaching career in the future.

Experience of supervising young people within a similar setting is essential, as is the ability to safely manage classroom activities. Individuals with a strong Maths/English/Science qualification would be desirable, however not essential for the role.

If you have the passion to positively contribute to our ethos and have the drive to make a difference for our students and parents, then we would like to hear from you.

The economic, cultural and social landscape of Barnsley is changing. Opportunities in further education, higher education and professional roles are increasing; opportunities for individuals to shape their own career pathways are growing; opportunities for individuals to challenge traditional socio-economic patterns are multiplying.


At Horizon Community College, our responsibility is to prepare students for this reality. We want young people to leave the College well qualified and with a unique skill set that will enable them to stand out from the crowd. We want young people to be in possession of a passport of qualifications and employability skills that will enable them to pursue exciting careers, attend prestigious universities, complete dynamic apprenticeships and play leading roles in regenerating this area and beyond.

Our school is going from strength to strength.

I have no doubt that with the continued hard work put in from both staff and students that we will achieve this recommendation shortly.
