We are seeking to appoint a Cover Supervisor to cover lessons during the short term absence of the normal teacher who will have set suitable work for the duration.

• Recent experience of working in a school in a similar role

• Ability to communicate and relate to staff, students and parents alike

• Ability to effectively use ICT to support learning, or to undertake training to do so

• Understanding of behaviour management strategies.

In return you will join a wonderful team and have every opportunity to further your professional development and career with an excellent benefit package including Wellbeing Health Cash Plan, Retail Discounts, ICT Loans, Professional Introduction Incentive plus others.
