Northampton international academy are seeking to appoint 2 Cover Supervisors on a permanent contract term time only to support the teaching staff across the school. The successful candidate will be required to supervise classes for absent teaching staff across both primary and secondary. When not needed to cover absent colleagues, they may be required to do other tasks such as intervention work with small groups of students withdrawn from a class.  The successful candidate will be resilient and resourceful, understand how to manage behaviours, and be able to ‘think on their feet’.

Many staff use the experience of working as a cover supervisor as a steppingstone into teaching or other related fields of work involving working with young people.

Experience of working with young people is essential, as is experience of working in a school environment with the ability to lead a class.

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

The children and staff at Northampton International Academy are currently completing the opening chapters of its history.  The DNA of NIA is set by our High Expectations and Global Vision and we are building into the curriculum for all year groups our Character Drivers: Collaboration, Responsibility, Respect, Care, Excellence and Aspiration. By instilling these characteristics in our learners, they will flourish both within school and beyond as they set out to create their own histories

By working for our Trust, you’ll be able to take advantage of a wealth of professional development and support opportunities, as well as a range of employee benefits.

These include:

• Continuous professional development and training opportunities
