We are seeking a confident and reliable Cover Supervisor to join our dedicated SEND team, working at one of our specialist schools, Sunrise Academy in Lowestoft.

Sunrise Academy supports students with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs.

Trauma Informed practice is embedded across the curriculum, and all colleagues receive training and support to use these approaches confidently in their work.

As a Cover Supervisor you will play a key role in maintaining continuity of learning during teacher absences, creating calm and purposeful classrooms, and supporting high-quality provision across both sites as required.

We are looking for someone with excellent communication skills, a calm and consistent approach, and the ability to build positive relationships with young people.
