Our school is a happy school, where relationships are positive, respect is prevalent and expectations are high. We challenge all members of our school community to “be kind, try your best and follow the rules” – our students are our greatest asset and never fail to inspire and impress staff and visitors. Staff have high expectations of all students, whatever their starting point; students have the drive and ambition to meet these expectations. Our GCSE results in 2024 were once again amongst the highest in Leeds, which is testament to the way that our students and staff work together to create a positive, ambitious and caring learning environment.

Governors are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, self-motivated and inspiring cover supervisor.  We are looking for someone who is qualified to GCSE Grade C or above in English and Maths or NVQ Level 2 and ideally has experience of working with children in a classroom setting.

You will supervise students completing work that has been set by absent teachers. Other duties will be required under the direction of the Cover Manager. Duties may include examination invigilation and the provision of administrative and clerical support. This post is ideal for candidates who are considering a career in teaching or in the wider education sector or indeed anyone who has a real interest and passion for supporting young people in their learning.

If you can offer vision, drive and a commitment to supporting and developing young people within our Catholic school then we want to hear from you. We are particularly interested in candidates who share our commitment to improving the life chances of young people regardless of background.

Further details and Catholic Education Service application forms are also available from the school website (www.cardinalheenan.com).

Please note that covering letters are not required and will not be used as part of the shortlisting or selection process. There is a section of the application form where candidates may offer further information to support their application. This can take the form of a letter of no more than two sides of A4.

Closing date:  Monday 2 June 2025 at 9:00am

We reserve the right to close this vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.

Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. An Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) disclosure will be sought, along with other relevant pre-employment checks, for the successful applicant.

We promote diversity and want a workforce which reflects the population of Leeds.

Values and Vision

The ethos of our school “to inspire excellence by encouraging every individual to be the person that God calls us to be” celebrates every individual within our school community. We encourage all members of the community - staff and students, to try their best in all situations, celebrating their successes as individuals and collectively through the nurture, care, and guidance we provide for them. 

By ensuring our focus is on developing every individual, our students make exceptional progress in all aspects of their education. Our students’ outcomes year on year exceed the national average in all measures which we are very proud about – consistently amongst the highest-ranking schools in Leeds. However, we also celebrate the individual success that our students have – be that through extra-curricular participation, their contribution to the Catholic Life of the school, their ability to contribute to the school community through countless leadership roles, their participation in a full range of educational trips and visits… the list is endless. 

Our students leave our school with the qualifications, work ethic and resilience to thrive in Post 16 – the majority of our students progress to Notre Dame Catholic Sixth Form College in Leeds and continue to thrive.
