Cover Supervisor

If you are thinking of becoming a teacher or looking to gain classroom-based experience before starting Teacher Training, then this post offers an excellent opportunity.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated individual to join our team-orientated school graded as ‘Good’ in all categories (Ofsted March 2024).

The role of the Cover Supervisor is essential to provide assistance to the teaching departments by delivering lessons already prepared by the teacher. Cover Supervisors are not required to plan, prepare or mark student work and the main day to day duties involve:

• Supervising pupils, ensuring they are engaged in the classwork.
• Helping pupils to become more independent in their learning and assisting with tasks when needed.
• Creating a safe and positive classroom environment.
• Promoting good behaviour in line with the school behaviour policy.
• Providing TA support when not being used as cover.

We want to hear from you if you have an interest in teaching or have had previous experience as a Teaching Assistant, volunteer or youth leader with secondary aged children. The successful applicant will be a dynamic and enthusiastic individual who is able to make the significant contribution required to secure the very best outcomes for all students at The Bicester School. As part of our Induction Programme, full training will be given on our classroom procedures and protocols.

This is a responsible and rewarding role and can be a great steppingstone into a teaching career.
