Cover Supervisor

The Aylesbury Vale Academy is a large vibrant and warm community of over 200 staff. Staff wellbeing, happiness and job satisfaction is essential to ensuring the school achieves its goals. We value our staff and provide a welcoming and supportive working environment in which they can develop as professionals and progress in their careers. We are committed to our status as a workplace signed up to the DfE Wellbeing Charter and continuously review our practices to improve school culture and workload. Cover Supervisors are responsible for the management of classes when the regular teacher is absent and during PPA sessions. They are accountable for ensuring that learning is taking place and all students are making progress. You will be required to oversee classes across the full range of subjects although individual strengths will be utilised where possible. When cover is not required, Cover Supervisors support in a range of other activities such as development of teaching resources in individual curriculum areas or assisting in the SEN Department. Candidates must have experience of working with children and young adults. Numeracy and literacy skills, equivalent to GCSE Grade C in Maths and English are essential. Candidates must possess effective communication and organisational skills, competence in the use of ICT to support teaching and learning, ability to work with minimum supervision within a team and ability to manage students in a classroom setting. Prospective candidates are encouraged to submit their applications as soon as possible as the school reserves the right to close the advert should we feel able to appoint an appropriate candidate. Our commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our children will be reflected throughout the recruitment process and the successful applicant will be subject to an enhanced DBS check and an online screening check.
