Cover Supervisor

Full Time Cover Supervisor 32.5 hours per week, term time

Required as soon as possible

We are pleased to be recruiting a Full Time Cover Supervisor to join our school community to provide daily cover for lessons in the absence of teaching staff. Duties will include giving instructions for the lesson (these will be provided by the teacher), upholding high standards of behaviour in the classroom and ensuring pupils remain focused and on task.

 We are looking to appoint an individual who is self-directed, with good interpersonal and communication skills, confident in leading learning in the classroom, patient and who is committed to making a difference to the lives of young people. The ability to build and develop good relationships, be a positive role model, reinforce the values and ethos of the school and have a creative approach to problem solving is essential.

NVQ Level 2 or 3 equivalent, or knowledge or experience of the work area is desirable. You will also be able to demonstrate a high level of commitment with excellent attendance and punctuality. This is a key role within the school and the successful candidate must be able to work as part of a team as well as on their own.

 The Nelson Thomlinson School is a high performing secondary school on the fringe of the Lake District in Cumbria. Ofsted’s most recent visit in October 2023 highlighted our strong traditions and a school where pupils (and staff) are proud to live out it’s values. NTS also has a dedicated Professional Development department where opportunities for staff development and training are made a priority.
