We are looking to supply a school in the Shrewsbury area with a Cover Supervisor. This is a full time role to cover a position for long term sickness.
Many schools like to use the same supply teachers due to continuity for the children and knowing the quality of learning they are receiving. As a result, if you make a good impression and show the school what you're made of, they will constantly be asking for you back.
Working as a cover supervisor can be extremely rewarding but it is also very demanding. The cover supervisor's main job is to manage a classroom, ensuring that students remain on task with the work they have been set by an absent teacher.
Cover supervisors are often highly qualified. Many schools specify a degree as a minimum educational requirement and require recent relevant experience working with secondary aged pupils in an educational setting. Cover supervisor jobs offer a fantastic opportunity for individuals looking to gain teaching and classroom experience before completing a PGCE.
Skills, Interests and Qualities
As a cover supervisor you will need to be:
· highly adaptable as there is no regular timetable
· be confident, organised and at times, diplomatic
· patient, flexible, creative with a good sense of humour
You will need to demonstrate that you have:
· experience of working with secondary aged children
· the ability to manage groups of children and cope with challenging behaviour.
· the ability to build good relationships with children, teachers, parents and carers
· a knowledge of the National Curriculum for KS3 and KS4
· the ability to work as part of a team
· good reading, writing and numeracy skills
· good IT skills
· A passion for educating young children
· Eagerness to grow and develop as a teacher
