About This Role
We are seeking to appoint a cover supervisor who must have a good level of experience and be able to cover colleagues’ absence within the lesson across the whole academy curriculum. Candidates will also have excellent interpersonal and customer service skills as this role requires regular contact with parents, carers, colleagues, learners, and the local community. The successful candidate will also need to be able to demonstrate that they are able to cover colleagues’ absence and create an orderly and purposeful environment in which learners can complete the work set.
Other essential skill sets involve the ability to be able to work flexibly and prioritise workload, work calm under pressure, and uphold a professional, friendly manner at all times. It is desirable for candidates to have received safeguarding training or have good knowledge about the child safeguarding and protection procedures, however, full training will be given.
