Cover Supervisor

We are recruiting a Cover Supervisor to join our new school, to supervise whole classes undertaking prepared activities provided during the short-term absence of a classroom teacher. The successful candidate will be able to motivate and inspire students with a creative approach to problem solving. They will have the ability to work calmly under pressure and to adapt quickly and effectively to changing circumstances/situations.  

Together with excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, they will apply behaviour management policies and strategies which contribute to a purposeful learning environment. Other responsibilities include assisting in the promotion of high standards of behaviour and conduct within the Academy and to provide support colleagues as directed in all aspects of learning, personal development and emotional literacy both within classrooms and in other defined learning environments. 

If you are considering a career in teaching this could be the role for you.
