Cover Supervisor

Are you considering a career in, or returning to, teaching? If so, Southchurch High School could have the perfect opportunity for you.

We are looking for a creative, self-motivated and confident person to join our dedicated team of cover supervisors. The successful candidate will cover lessons for absent teaching staff and work across the whole curriculum.  You will supervise work that has been set by the teacher to ensure continuity of learning and manage the behaviour of students in the classroom to encourage an effective learning environment.  No teaching experience is required; however, this role may suit anyone considering teaching as a career or someone returning to the profession.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

•         High levels of literacy, numeracy and good communication skills.

•        The vision and commitment to continually raise levels of achievement.

•         Knowledge and understanding of the key principles in delivering a classroom lesson (desirable but not essential as training will be provided).

We can offer you:

•         An extensive programme of relevant CPD for all staff.

•         Working with a committed, hardworking and supportive team with the desire to raise student achievement even further.

•         A strong emphasis on staff well-being and free access to external support agencies if needed.

•         Free eye test vouchers for all staff.

•         Cycle to work scheme.

•         Free onsite parking.

•         Very modern facilities, set in acres of grounds, located in a leafy suburb of Southend-on-Sea.

Our ethos is focused on ensuring all of our students achieve their full potential. The School’s focus on achievement is the same as at every Partnership Learning School. The atmosphere is disciplined and rigorous but also happy and caring.
