Cover Supervisor

Term time only

Looking for a new challenge?

We are looking for an enthusiastic Cover Supervisor to join our school. 

We are committed to providing all students with the best opportunities to make great progress and to inspire a love of learning. 

Pioneer Secondary Academy is a smaller than average secondary school with a calm atmosphere and and high ambitions for its students who are:

“confident, articulate young people who think carefully about their role in the world and display positive behaviour and attitudes.”

This is an exciting time to become part of a school being launched under new leadership and governance and planning for a dynamic successful future. We are now seeking to appoint an individual who shares our passion for learning and our determination to change lives through the education we provide.

We place great passion on staff well-being and development, at all levels with an extensive programme of professional development, offering a whole range of opportunities for colleagues to develop their potential within and beyond Pioneer.

Our aim is to provide a knowledge rich education underpinned by our core values whilst preparing the next generation for an evolving digital world. If you are a driven and dedicated practitioner who is eager to grow and learn, by building effective relationships then we want to hear from you.

You will be well-supported by a strong team of professionals who always go the ‘extra mile’ for our young people.

Main purpose of job:       

To supervise whole classes during the absence of teachers.  Cover supervisors will give instructions for the lesson as provided by a teacher and the primary focus of the role will be to maintain good order and keep students on task. 

 

Cover Supervisors will respond to general questions and provide general feedback to teachers but will not be required to undertake ‘specified work’ (planning, preparation, delivery, assessment, recording and reporting of achievement, progress and development).  Cover Supervisors will not therefore be subject to a ‘system of supervision’ other than the general supervision applicable to all staff and will act under the professional direction of teachers.

When not ‘covering’ classes the Cover Supervisor will be used for administrative support under the direction of the Operations Director.

At PSA, we are passionate about our children, teaching and learning and developing our staff. We are a growing school with an expanding team and we are looking to appoint an experienced Librarian to join us to support our team.

What can we offer you?  

Amazing children who are respectful, engage with their learning and appreciate the work that we do with them         

An exciting place to work where you will feel valued for all your hard work         

A wonderfully welcoming and supportive team         

Relevant CPD to further develop your knowledge and skills and support where needed to achieve your best         

A forward thinking school where new ideas are welcomed and encouraged

 

Applications will be shortlisted and interviewed at the earliest opportunity. Early applications for this post are recommended.

Pioneer Secondary Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS record check.

We reserve the right to bring forward the closing date if we consider that we have received an appropriate number of suitable applications for the post.
