What skills and experience we're looking for
If you are thinking of becoming a teacher or looking to gain classroom-based experience before starting Teacher Training, then this post offers an excellent opportunity.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated individual to join our team-orientated school graded as ‘Good’ in all categories (Ofsted March 2024).
The role of the Cover Supervisor is essential to provide assistance to the teaching departments by delivering lessons already prepared by the teacher. Cover Supervisors are not required to plan, prepare or mark student work and the main day to day duties involve:
• Supervising pupils, ensuring they are engaged in the classwork.
• Helping pupils to become more independent in their learning and assisting with tasks when needed.
• Creating a safe and positive classroom environment.
• Promoting good behaviour in line with the school behaviour policy.
• Providing TA support when not being used as cover.
We want to hear from you if you have an interest in teaching or have had previous experience as a Teaching Assistant, volunteer or youth leader with secondary aged children. The successful applicant will be a dynamic and enthusiastic individual who is able to make the significant contribution required to secure the very best outcomes for all students at The Bicester School. As part of our Induction Programme, full training will be given on our classroom procedures and protocols.
This is a responsible and rewarding role and can be a great steppingstone into a teaching career.
What the school offers its staff
At The Bicester School we pride ourselves on having successfully created an ethos that is nurturing, but challenging, and fully inclusive to all staff and students. We are fortunate to be located in a rural part of North Oxfordshire with excellent transport links.
Employee Benefits include:
ALET employees have the opportunity to become members of a highly competitive pension scheme. This is the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) for business support staff and Teachers Pension Scheme (TPS) for teaching staff.
• We are committed to staff wellbeing. As such our Trustees have given all staff two wellbeing days per annum, calendared for school-based staff and bookable for the central team.
• All staff have access to a comprehensive e-learning portal with various CPD courses including safeguarding and role-specific training.
• All staff have access to a 24/7/365 confidential Employee Assistance Programme with access to specialist telephone counselling.
Commitment to safeguarding
Due to this post having access to children and/or vulnerable adults, candidates will be required to undertake a Disclosure and Barring Service check. The possession of a criminal record will not necessarily prevent an applicant from obtaining this post, as all cases are judged individually according to the nature of the role and information provided. The Bicester School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. We undertake social media checks on all shortlisted candidates in accordance with DFE statutory guidance KCSIE.
