Murray Park School is a rewarding and professionally stimulating place to work. Over the last 3 years we have undergone a journey of rapid improvement; moving from a Requires Improvement Ofsted grading to Good in September 2022, our Progress 8 improved from -0.64 in 2019 to 0 in 2022. As well as now being over-subscribed but never complacent, we are now on our next stage of development and seek high-quality staff to enable this.
We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated Cover Supervisor. The post-holder will be expected to cover in classes when required due to staff absence. Full training will be provided. This post would be ideal for someone with previous experience of working with young people, or an individual who is considering teaching as a career in the future.
The person appointed will have:
•A passion for ensuring the best outcomes for all students, including those who are part of disadvantaged and vulnerable groups.
•Strong organisation and communication skills.
•An understanding of the workings of a secondary school
•Relentlessly high standards and expectations of all students.
•A commitment to continuous improvement of their own practice, irrelevant of job role, career stage or position.
•
Staff at Murray Park School benefit from:
•A positive approach to flexible working for all staff.
•A Senior Leadership Team who prioritise staff well-being and consider this when launching any new systems or pedagogical approaches.
•A robust and centralised behaviour system, including an internal Alternative Provision, to ensure learning in our classrooms is disruption free.
•A whole-school CPD package which includes the sharing of recent research and best-practice.
•An approach to pedagogy which ensures teachers teach the highest-quality lessons possible, whilst still allowing teachers the freedom to maintain professional autonomy.
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and appointment to this post is subject to a criminal record and background check.
