What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking to appointment a cover supervisor who will be responsible for supervising lessons during the short-term absence of the normal class teacher. You will be required to cover any subject, but work will be set in advance. Previous experience of working in the classroom would be an advantage but training and support will be provided. The post may be of interest for those wishing to gain experience prior to a career in teaching. You will work under the direct supervision of the School Attendance Manager.
We require someone with:
• A genuine interest in young people and their learning
• The ability to communicate clearly and confidently
• Flexibility and a sense of humour
• Qualifications at least to Level 2 or the equivalent
• The ability to cover physical education lessons would be an advantage.
What the school offers its staff
We can offer:
• A friendly and supportive working environment at one of the most successful comprehensive schools in the country
• The opportunity to progress and build a career in a growing Multi Academy Trust
• A generous Local Government Pension Scheme, on-site nursery, and subsidised gym membership for the sports complex next door.

In line with KCSIE guidance, this will be part of safer recruitment checks, and the search will purely be based on whether an individual is suitable to work with children.

Wessex MAT is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The post is subject to safeguarding checks, including an enhanced DBS check and Children’s Barred List check. The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975, 2013 and 2020.

This role is UK- based and your right to work will need to be established as part of the appointment process.
