We would love you to join the Team at Nailsea School, as one of our Cover Supervisors - you would oversee the learning of whole classes during the short-term absence of their class teacher, to ensure that classes are effectively supervised and supported, and that the work, which has been set by the class teacher, is completed to a satisfactory level.

• Assist in preparing the learning environment and the materials used within lessons
• Record and report attendance at lessons in accordance with school policy
• Manage student behaviour to ensure a constructive working environment, in accordance with school policy
• Inspire, and develop our student's talents and aspirations

What we can offer

• Professional induction, training and continued professional development opportunities.
• Staff benefits including reduced leisure centre membership and cycle to work scheme.
• A staff assistance programme with specialist provider, CareFirst who provide a 24/7 free phone helpline, or face-to-face counselling for every employee in the Wessex family.
