Job description

Overview

As a Cover Supervisor, you'll take the lead in guiding classes of around 30 students in the absence of the class teacher. Lessons will always be pre-planned, and your role is to facilitate learning, manage classroom dynamics, maintain accurate registers, and seamlessly handover to the absent teacher.

Vision for Education's Cover Supervisor Training Programme is here to support you. We offer a fully comprehensive Cover Supervisor Training Programme developed by Vision for Education and North East Partnership SCITT to prepare you with the skills and confidence needed to succeed in the classroom.

We have run this course over the past two years with great success, and many longer-term placements have led to permanent contracts due to outstanding feedback from the schools in which we have placed them. We are working with supportive schools in Buxton, New Mills, Glossop and the High Peak who have been instrumental in providing a supportive environment in which you can hone your skills.

Requirements

To be considered for the role of Trainee Cover Supervisor you will:

• Be a natural leader with the confidence to guide a lesson in the teacher's absence.
• Have experience of supporting young people in either a learning support, sports coaching, mentor or similar role.
• Have a degree or other relevant qualification.
• Able to provide suitable references, a valid DBS Check and hold the Right to Work in the UK.

Vision for Education is committed to safeguarding children, young people and vulnerable adults. We take our responsibilities extremely seriously. All staff we register will undertake thorough interviewing and referencing checks and hold, or be prepared to undergo, an Enhanced DBS check that must be registered on the Update Service.
