Cover Supervisor with TA duties

Career role with variety and potential in an exciting, growing new school.

An opening has arisen for a dedicated, efficient and practical person interested in supporting student learning in our new school. Currently with just 180 Year 7 students, this role focuses on Cover Supervisor responsibilities for which we are seeking at least A level standard of education. Initially based in specially adapted temporary accommodation, the career prospects have significant potential as the school grows rapidly and moves to the planned, adjacent, brand new permanent building. 

Combining traditional and cutting edge teaching methods, Coombe Wood uses effective models of in-class support that enable students to be as independent as possible, while receiving the scaffolding they need to encourage achievement. This person needs to communicate closely with the subject teachers so that they gain a sound grasp of lesson content and can confidently deliver to the whole class. They may also withdraw groups for specialist intervention work and experience of some Special Educational Needs support would be an advantage.

As with all roles that support learning, staff are required to be flexible so the remit includes some Teaching Assistant duties; we all encourage a tidy, smart working environment that promotes a pride in the school. If you are an enthusiastic team player ready to join us on this journey, please access further details of the duties which are listed in the Job Description in the Candidate Pack available for download on http://www.cws-croydon.co.uk/Current-Opportunities 

This role has the potential to be refined and more specialised as the school grows towards its 1680 student roll capacity. 

Core values 

Our ethos derives from the theoretical and practical nature of sport with TEAMWORK, RESPECT, ENJOYMENT, DISCIPLINE and SPORTSMANSHIP as its core values. All staff are expected to demonstrate and support these in their everyday work. Coombe Wood School teaching and non-teaching staff will work closely together across many different areas of the school to ensure the best possible learning experiences for our students.

Coombe Wood School is part of Folio Education Trust: http://www.folio-education.co.uk/. This is a local collaboration of schools, with future possibilities of shared training or working at more than one school, so by becoming part of the team at Coombe Wood School, your career will experience wider benefits.

Location

This is a new secondary fully-inclusive co-educational school, serving the communities of South and Central Croydon, established to meet an urgent rising local demand. Initially housed in temporary accommodation, the proposed site for the ‘new build’ school is opposite Lloyd Park in South Croydon, with an excellent Tramlink service to and from East Croydon station (just 5 minutes’ journey-time away) and a short walk from several bus routes. Over £35 million is to be invested in building a state-of-the-art school which will include enhanced sports facilities, comprising a competition-sized sports hall, a full-size 3G artificial floodlit surface and aspirations to include a closed circuit cycle track (CRC) and 8-lane floodlit athletics track.
