Cover Supervisor and Administrator

We are looking for a well-qualified, enthusiastic and ambitious individual to join us as a Cover Supervisor at Wimbledon High School.

As a Cover Supervisor, you will provide cover for senior school lessons in the absence of a teacher, delivering pre-planned work left by the teacher. You will maintain a high standard of discipline through the close monitoring of student behaviour, creating an environment in which pupils feel safe, secure and confident.

In addition to your classroom responsibilities, you will also undertake a range of administrative duties to support cover supervision. This will involve preparing the daily cover rota, registering staff absences and coordinating room bookings. You will also provide support to the Exams Officer when necessary.

You will need first class organisational, administrative and communication skills, along with the ability to manage a class. You will also possess excellent ICT skills and will be able to establish and maintain administrative systems and records. Previous experience in an administrative or educational setting is desirable but not essential.
