Job description

Blessed Robert Sutton Catholic Voluntary Academy are seeking to appoint a Cover Supervisor to join our busy school. As our cover supervisor, you will be responsible for ensuring that students have a high-quality learning experience when their usual teacher is away from school.

You’ll create a purposeful, positive learning environment, guide students through pre-prepared work, and help them stay focused and engaged so their learning never misses a beat.

This is your chance to take on a dynamic role leading lessons across KS3 and KS4, with occasional opportunities to work with KS5, and to contribute to the wider life of our welcoming Academy.

This is a permanent role, working for 37 hours per week, term time only.

You Will:

  • Provide a high-quality customer focused management administrative service within the main school office
  • Supervise the students in KS3 and KS4 working on pre-set learning activities in the absence of a teacher.
  • Be caring and supportive and committed to achieving excellent results.
  • Have a belief that every young person, whatever their starting point or circumstances, can achieve exceptional things.
  • Promote the well-being of our student’s providing guidance and support and be able to inspire learning and progress.
  • Be resilient and determined, and confident in talking to large groups of young people.

In return, we can offer a supportive working environment, with access to regular high quality research-based CPD, excellent standards of behaviour, and a commitment to eliminating unnecessary workload.
