Job Summary: Longfield Academy has a fantastic opportunity to appoint a Cover Supervisor to join their dedicated team, starting in October 2024. The successful candidate will ensure the good behaviour of our students and make sure students engage in their learning during the short-term absence of teachers. Cover work will be supplied wherever possible for you to use as a basis for the lessons and we will also determine your subject specialisms with you as a preference. The successful candidate will be required to respond to students' general questions and provide feedback to the teacher on broad issues such as behaviour. They will not generally be expected to undertake any planning, preparation or assessment of students' progress and/or development unless there is a long-term absence and it is felt with additional support they can do so.

This post is ideal for graduates with an interest in developing a career in teaching as the experience you can gain from this is first-hand. The role could offer a route into teaching due to our outstanding relationship with the Kent and Medway Training hub, and also for those who may have had experience within the education sector beforehand. Please note that whilst previous experience within an education environment is desirable, full training will be provided for the successful candidate.
This is a fixed-term position offering an actual salary of £19,855 per annum (£24,404 full-time equivalent), working 35 hours per week, term time + 1 week of inset.
