Cover Supervisor

Are you looking for a career in a thriving, friendly and supportive standalone academy where staff welfare is a priority? Are you passionate about young people and committed to unlocking their potential in an academy that has high expectations of everyone?

We are seeking a committed and enthusiastic Cover Supervisor, dedicated to ensuring our students engage in learning and are motivated to undertake activities.
