Staff Cover & CPD Administrator

We are looking to recruit a Staff Cover and CPD Administrator to ensure the smooth and efficient deployment of cover arrangements for teaching and other staff, ensuring that all lessons have cover for the day. Experience of working with cover in a school is desirable, but not essential. The postholder will be the first point of contact to receive telephone calls from members of staff who are absent from school. There will be occasions (especially for sickness) when this will take place in the early morning. The postholder will be required to start by 7am, Monday to Friday.

Monday to Friday core hours must be 07.00–10.00 each day, with flexibility around additional hours.

Main duties will include:

·        To be first point of contact to receive telephone calls from members of staff who are absent from school. 

·        Ensure cover is in place for staff absence because of sickness, on pre-planned courses, trips and events and hospital appointments etc.

·        Manage and deploy the school’s own cover supervisors and/or external/internal supply teachers.

·        Produce the daily/weekly lists of staff absences and arrangements for cover provision. This has to be available for staff by 8.15-8.30am each morning.

·        Input absence data into Bromcom (Schools’ Information Management System) modules. Produce reports as appropriate.

·        Distribute the cover to supply staff for the day.

·        Pass approved Student Activity and Staff CPD forms to the Attendance Officer to enter in the School’s electronic calendars as required.

·        To ensure that all new external supply teachers have been successfully cleared through the Disclosure and Barring Service.
