St Bede's and St Joseph's Catholic College are seeking to employ a Cover Supervisor working closely with Teachers, Division Managers and the Cover Manager to support the work of staff and students in the College's by covering absent colleagues and ensuring seamless provision for our students. Primary Objectives of Role

• To supervise whole classes, normally up to a maximum of three days per absence, during the short-term absence of teachers. The primary focus will be to maintain good order and to keep students on task. Cover Supervisors will need to respond to questions and generally assist students to undertake set activities.
• To implement agreed work programmes with individuals/groups, in or out of the classroom. This could include those requiring detailed and specialist knowledge in particular areas and will involve assisting the teacher in the whole planning cycle and the management/preparation of resources.
• When not requested to supervise classes, will act as a support assistant to teachers as directed.
Note: Cover for short-term absences may be provided by persons who are not qualified teachers. The term 'cover supervision' occurs when there is no active teaching taking place. Students would continue their learning by carrying out pre-prepared exercises/tasks under this supervision.
