Cover Supervisor

As a Cover Supervisor at Chellaston Academy, you will play a vital role in ensuring continuity of learning when teaching staff are absent. Working with students across Key Stages 3 and 4, you will supervise pre-planned lessons, maintain a positive and purposeful learning environment, and support students to stay engaged and make progress. Alongside classroom supervision, you will contribute to the wider life of the school by supporting examinations, educational visits, and departmental administration. This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys working with young people, thrives in a varied environment, and wants to make a meaningful contribution to student success.

Whether you are considering a future career in teaching or bring experience from an educational setting, you will be passionate about helping students achieve their best and embody the values of Integrity, Care and Excellence that are central to life at Chellaston Academy.
