Cover Supervisor – Silvertown

Why Consider Oasis Silvertown?

Oasis Academy Silvertown is a vibrant and inspirational setting for a committed Cover Supervisor dedicated to providing pastoral care within a community of aspiring and ambitious young people.

Regardless of an individual young person’s personal drive and desire to develop, there are still the occasions when an experienced listening ear and a different perspective to offer guidance is needed and sought.

 We know it requires a special person who understands the approach, timing and support required.

As our Cover Supervisor you’ll be encouraged to draw upon your rich and varied experience to support and inspire, using effective techniques to provide the pastoral care required to a wide range of students in a state of the art new facility located in the iconic Royal Docks - a unique place of significant and fascinating architectural and historical importance.
