Cover Supervisor

Are you ready for a new challenge in a large primary school with opportunities for developing your skills across the full Primary phase?

We are a large, popular multicultural City School and believe in working hard to break through all barriers to learning. Is this school for you?

We are looking for an excellent Cover Supervisor to support students in the case of absence of their usual classroom teacher. We want to appoint an individual who can command respect, who understands how to communicate with young people, who is interested in being a learner and who works well as part of a team. We also seek to appoint someone who understands that this role is not always needed every lesson of every day and, as such, is willing to work with students in alternative capacities supporting learning in its broadest sense.

Cover Supervisor is also an excellent opportunity to start your journey into teaching. We believe that Forest Fields is a great place for students to take their next educational steps. We also believe it is an equally great place to consider your next steps into a role in education. Whether this is building experience for an application to train as a teacher or exploring whether education is a good fit for you, this role is offered in conjunction with a full suite of continuing professional development.

Hours of work are 35 hours per week, 8.30am – 4.00pm Monday to Friday with 30 minutes unpaid lunch. Term time only.

So, if you think this could be just what you have been looking for, we look forward to welcoming your application.

A school tour is highly recommended - please contact the school office to arrange.

Applications must be submitted by 9.00 am on Monday 13th January 2025.

Shortlisting will take place on the Wednesday 15th January 2025.

Date of interview: Friday 17th January 2025.
