Summary

What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking an enthusiastic, self-motivated professional to join our student support team as a cover supervisor, to play a vital role in the school. Covering for short periods of absence is a rewarding job and one that provides valuable experiences in the classroom, if you are looking for a stepping stone in order to get into teaching. You will need confidence, with the ability to inspire and enthuse our students, so that they maintain their learning in the absence of their regular teacher.

You will need good interpersonal and organisational skills to lead planned lessons, with the ability to relate to the young people in our school. If you can embrace a challenge, we will give you fantastic support and the opportunity to work with a team of energetic and enthusiastic colleagues. You will be able to gain satisfaction from helping students meet their aspirational targets as well as offer them pastoral links as a tutor.

What the school offers its staff

We will offer you:

• An identified experienced mentor and our Lead Associate Specialist Teacher, providing on call support where needed
• Invaluable experience covering classes across all year groups
• A shadow timetable when you are not 'on cover' to provide ample opportunity to observe classroom practice across a diverse range of disciplines
• Classroom support/development and quality CPD
• Access to coaching and regular feedback to develop your teaching expertise
• A comprehensive induction programme and mentor

We will play to your strengths and can offer you:

• A range of benefits which include cycle to work, free parking and an employee discount scheme.
• A strong commitment to staff wellbeing and recognition.
• Annual Support Staff Conference for all Support Staff across the Trust.

We are proud to be part of Castle Phoenix Trust. This facilitates an opportunity to play to your strengths and provide excellent collaboration between colleagues and leaders, access to effective CPD and the chance to develop professionally. The Trust is committed to invest in and develop all staff and, most importantly, bring about the best possible outcomes for our students who deserve the very best. Our Trust values are really important to all of us and include Respect to All, From All, Innovation and Collaboration.
