Job description

Do you enjoy working with young people? Are you looking for a job where you can use your organisational skills to ensure that student classes are professionally covered in the event of teacher absence? We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and confident Cover Supervisor to join our team in September.

The key role of a Cover Supervisor is to work closely with students across a range of subjects and to ensure they maintain their learning in the absence of their regular teacher. We are looking for candidates with strong organisational and interpersonal skills, who are confident, inspiring, and can make a real difference for students in the classroom. A full programme of training and support will be provided.

St Wilfrid's Catholic School is:

• a high achieving and oversubscribed 11-18 mixed comprehensive school with over 1165 students.
• a school that aims to be the very best it can be.
• a school where everyone is valued and supported.
• a strong community based on mutual respect.
• a welcoming and productive place.

St Wilfrid’s is an “Outstanding Catholic School” where “staff are excellent role models” and where students say that the school “feels like a family where people care for each other” (Catholic Schools Inspection 2024).

Our students are amazing and contribute enormously to making the school such a welcoming and productive place.
