About the role

The Cover Supervisor will provide cover and supervise whole classes during the absence of teachers. The teacher may be absent on sick leave, participating in professional development, attending a meeting, or taking time for planning, preparation, or assessment.

The Cover Supervisor 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. The Cover Supervisor will respond to general questions and provide feedback to teachers, working alongside teaching staff. The Cover Supervisor will therefore be subject to the general supervision applicable to all staff and will act under the professional direction of teachers and Senior Leaders.

When not ‘covering’ classes the Cover Supervisor will be directed, under the direction of Senior Leaders, or teachers.
