Cover Supervisor

Do you want to work in a welcoming and forward-looking school? Do you want to make a difference?

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and motivated Cover Supervisor to join Springwest Academy.

You will be responsible for supervising classes in the absence of regular teaching staff and ensuring effective learning takes place. You will be required to cover all subjects. We are looking for an enthusiastic individual who is able to use their own initiative whilst also being able to relate to and establish a rapport with young people. Educated to degree level with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, your main responsibilities will include undertaking whole class supervision in the absence of the class teacher, setting work previously prepared by the teacher; developing curricular knowledge as required by the school; applying the school’s Behaviour Policy and reporting any difficulties to the supervising teacher/Head of Faculty.

We would like to encourage people who may be considering a career in teaching and who wish to gain some further experience before doing so. A good induction programme is in place and you will join a large existing team of dedicated professionals. You will be fully supported in your role and there are opportunities for professional development. We take staff development very seriously and are a kind, caring and inclusive school. We have recently been awarded the ACE School of Character quality mark, and are one of the few schools in London to have achieved this.

We offer a variety of staff benefits including no after school meetings, travel season ticket loans, a cycle to work scheme, a pension scheme with excellent employer contributions and an early finish on a Friday.

Our most recent Section 8 Ofsted inspection (March 2023) confirmed that we are on our journey to outstanding.
