We have an exciting opportunity for a cover supervisor to join us to work with our wonderful students and friendly, supportive staff. The cover supervisor’s primary role is to introduce work to students, set by a subject specialist, and support them with their learning in the absence of the classroom teacher. The successful candidate will be organised, flexible and reliable, with the ability to work with students in a professional and appropriate way. The role may be of particular interest to, although is not restricted to, recent graduates with an interest in pursuing a career in teaching. Being a cover supervisor allows the opportunity to build classroom experience before beginning a teacher-training course, as evidenced by a number of our recent cover supervisors who have gone on to become qualified teachers. Whilst previous experience of working in a secondary school setting is advantageous, it is not essential, as full training will be provided.
If you would like to discuss the role or arrange to visit the school, please contact the school directly on 0118 9413458.
Staff who opt into the Local Government Pension Scheme will receive a generous employer contribution equivalent to 22.6% of salary. In addition, we offer free on-site parking, a bike-to-work scheme, a subsidised canteen, free eye tests, an employee assistance scheme and annual flu vaccinations.
Denefield is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We will carry out online checks on all shortlisted candidates prior to interview. All successful candidates will be subject to Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks along with other relevant employment checks. CVs will not be accepted.
In our school we are committed to securing genuine equality of opportunity in all aspects of our activities as an employer and education provider.
Completed applications, submitted directly via the TES website, should reach us by 9.00am, Monday 3 June 2024
Please note that we reserve the right to call candidates to interview before the closing date. As such, early applications are encouraged.

Top reasons to work at Denefield
- Strong behaviour systems – we believe in clear routines, appropriate responses and outstanding relationships fuelled by mutual respect. This means that students can learn in lessons and teachers can teach. We centralise detentions so that teachers are free to think about curriculum and pedagogy.
- Great curriculum resources – clear and coherent schemes of work that mean you can focus on how you teach.
- Commitment to high quality CPD – we’ll support and challenge you as an individual so you can develop your skills as a teacher - whatever your career stage or experience.
- Work smarter not harder – we focus on evidence-based approaches where teacher-time spent is commensurate with the impact on student outcome. This means, for example, that we use whole-class feedback rather than individual comments because at Denefield, we want you spending time on things that will actually make a difference!
- Staff well-being as a priority – we care about our staff as teachers and as people. Teams work very closely together and support each other day-to-day. Our commitment to your health and well-being is centred around making sure you are only asked to do the things that make the most difference to our students, but we also sign up to initiatives like 'bike to work' and offer all staff a free winter flu vaccination and access to an employee assistance programme.
