The post will suit an individual who enjoys working as part of a team and who enjoys working with young people from a variety of backgrounds. Cover Supervisors must demonstrate that they are adaptable to different situations and are able to thrive in a busy, demanding working environment. It is important that Cover Supervisors possess well-developed organisational and interpersonal skills to get the very best out of the students at the Trust when working in the classroom.

The position of Cover Supervisor would also suit those candidates who can foresee themselves dealing with students with confidence and a desire to role model positive behaviour for them.

Archway Learning Trust, previously Bluecoat Academies Trust, was formed in April 2014 as a result of the very long and successful history of Bluecoat Academy.

The growth and development of our Multi-Academy Trust make this an excellent opportunity to join us as we seek to serve a growing number of young people across the region.
