Job description

Are you looking for a term-time only role? Do you have experience teaching at Level 2 or above? If so, our Cover Supervisor position might be the role for you!

Weston College is looking for a Cover Supervisor to join our team on a term-time only basis (37 hours per week, 39 weeks per year), with the role based at one of our campuses within Weston-super-Mare.

As this is a term-time only position, the anticipated start date for this role will be September.

As the SEND Cover Supervisor, you will supervise classes in the absence of teaching staff, focusing on maintaining a calm learning environment, managing behaviour, and offering specialised support to students with SEND. You will ensure student safety, facilitate learning and provide feedback to classroom teachers.

Due to the nature of the role, you will be working on a term-time only basis (up to 39 weeks per year). During your non-working times, there are no expectations to complete any admin work such as preparation or marking, all aspects of the role will be undertaken during your 39 weeks per year.

If you are not required for cover, then you will provide 121, small group or in class support where needed.

To be successful in this role, you will need to be flexible and adaptable as it is highly unlikely that any two days will be the same!

You will also need to have a degree-level qualification, have excellent organisational skills and show an empathetic and inclusive approach to learners.

• Generous holiday entitlement
• 2-week Christmas closure
• Potential for hybrid working opportunities
• Volunteering Days (Up to two days of paid volunteering leave per academic year)
• Flexible start and finish times outside of core hours, 9.30am - 3.00pm, Monday to Friday (only available during holiday periods for Academic staff)
• Dedicated staff welfare officer and wellbeing champions
• Local and national staff discounts
• Free parking across sites
• Various staff committees including Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, Autism and Menopause
• Focus on staff wellbeing
• Eye care including free eye test and a contribution towards glasses
• Annual staff conference with guest speakers
• Employee assistance programme - available 24/7, 365 days a year
• Training and development opportunities with a focus on progression

Weston College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

We value equality, diversity and inclusion, and welcome applications from all backgrounds and communities. As a Disability Confident employer, we will support applicants who require reasonable adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process, please contact or 01934 411441.
