Are you an individual who believes that every young person can be successful; someone who is unwilling to put limits on what young people can achieve?

You might wish to begin a career in education; you might be returning to work following a career break; or you may be keen to continue to develop within our dynamic field, in a research-led school that will support your professional development. Our post will suit an individual who has a desire to promote high expectations and aspirations for young people.  We wish to appoint someone who is able to promote academic excellence as well as social success; someone who can relate to young people, and motivate and inspire them.

Our role of Cover Supervisor would suit an individual who has the energy and enthusiasm to create a productive and inspiring learning environment.  Following a period of induction and training you will take sole responsibility for classes of pupils, ensuring that they are able to access and complete the learning activities set by absent staff. 

We are looking for someone who has the ability to think on their feet and is resourceful; is happy with change and a ‘can do’ attitude; has patience, positivity and the determination to succeed.

We will offer you the chance to join an exceptionally friendly school, where pupil behaviour is consistently good; an opportunity to develop teaching skills; the opportunity to join an established and excellent cover team who contribute significantly to the life of the school; a diverse student community; opportunities for Continued Professional Development.
