We are looking to appoint a Cover Supervisor to start after the Easter holidays or earlier if possible. Our cover supervisors are part of our support team who work extremely closely with the teaching staff to provide the very best educational experience that we can, for the young people in our school. We expect our cover supervisors to be in school before the start of the school day and to be responsible for delivering lessons planned by absent teachers. Cover supervisors take a full and active part in school life and are often also used as tutors, either in the capacity of cover supervisor or as a regular tutor. In the past we have had cover supervisors who have then gone on to train as teachers. One of our two most recent cover supervisors, a trained teacher, went onto a full-time teaching job and another has retired after 7 years with us.
Maidenhill is a rapidly improving 11-16 school, located just 4 miles from the M5 motorway. We are committed to the safeguarding of children and expect all staff to share this commitment. We are a small school and pride ourselves in knowing our students really well. As a small school we work closely together and have individual student achievement at the heart of everything we do.

- Have a passion and enthusiasm for learning
- Have experience of working with young people
- Have student achievement at the heart of everything they do
- Be committed to the all-round development of every student
- Enjoy working with young people and enabling them to achieve their very best

About Maidenhill School
Maidenhill School is a mixed, foundation secondary school for children aged 11-16 in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire. It is a small school with around 555 pupils on roll.
Maidenhill School opened in 1957. In 2012 it began a £3.8m refurbishment programme, which brought about a major transformation both inside and outside. The old 1950s classrooms were revamped, a new Learning Resource Centre added and attractive spaces for students to socialise provided.
Today’s school also boasts a modern sports hall, fitness and dance suites and a performing arts studio.
Tutor groups are mixed age, a system designed to promote a caring environment where younger and older students help and support each other. Students spend 20 minutes per day with their tutor and tutor group on a range of activities, including literacy and numeracy activities. Mentoring is a key tutor group activity which aims to support and challenge all students.
