Cover Supervisor

Cover Supervisor, full time in term time 

Hoe Valley School is an oversubscribed secondary School that opened in September 2015 to serve the local community of South Woking. Delivering innovative and exciting lessons to years 7,8,9 and from September 2018, year 10, the School is committed to ensuring our students leave us with excellent academic outcomes, the skills to be ‘work-ready’ and the traits of excellent global citizens. 

This is an exciting opportunity for somebody who is looking to embark on a teaching career and wishes to gain classroom experience or for a qualified teacher who wishes to take on a different role within a school environment. We have supported previous colleagues with their progression from this type of role onto salaried and non-salaried SCITT programmes and have coached them as they take on more regular classes, team teach and become co-tutors.

The successful candidate will be organised, reliable, enthusiastic, flexible and be able to command students’ respect and build relationships with young people quickly and effectively. Reporting to the Senco, they will be deployed primarily to cover lessons the content of which will be provided by the absent teacher or Head of Faculty. When no cover is required they will be asked by the Senco to support vulnerable students in a Teaching Assistant capacity. 

Like all staff at HVS, the job holder will contribute to the journey of the School to being an outstanding School and be part of the growth of the School. You will represent the values and ethos of the School at all times and put the safety and wellbeing of our students first. 

The role is full-time and term time only.
