Job description
COVER SUPERVISOR
Required ASAP
Permanent post, 32.5 hours per week, term time only.
SLT support payscale grade D, pro rata of £26,428 - £27,275 fte
(actual starting salary £19,410.49 - £20,032.58 based on 32.5 hours per week)
Are you an enthusiastic, confident, and skilled professional looking for a rewarding new challenge? We want you to join our team as a Cover Supervisor.
In this vital role, you will work closely with our students across a variety of subjects. Your primary focus will be ensuring that students stay on track and maintain their learning when their regular teacher is away. If you are relentless in your commitment to student success and possess strong organisational and interpersonal skills, you will thrive here.
The ability to work calmly and often under pressure is essential. A good working knowledge of current ICT packages is required and previous experience of working in a school environment would be an advantage. However, we have a strong commitment to developing our staff so you can also expect to engage in a range of training activities. As such this is an excellent preparation for anyone considering a career in either teaching or supporting students’ learning.
Warden Park Secondary Academy is a significantly over-subscribed school demonstrating the high regard with which it is held in the local community. The vast majority of our students are committed and hard-working and it is in no doubt that this is a very enjoyable place to work.
If you enjoy a challenge and are interested in applying for this rewarding post, please download the job description for further information. We look forward to receiving your application. If you would like to have an informal discussion about the role please contact Graeme Harland (Assistant Headteacher) at gharland@wardenpark.co.uk.
We advise applying promptly for this post as we reserve the right to close and interview early if sufficient suitable applications have been received.
Applications are handled on Teaching Vacancies (GOV.UK).
