Job Title: Secondary Cover Supervisor (Part Time to Full Time)

Zen Educate is currently seeking a Secondary Cover Supervisor to join a reputable secondary school located in Teignbridge. As a Cover Supervisor for day to day cover, you will play a crucial role in supporting the teaching staff and ensuring the smooth running of the school. A cover supervisor in the education sector is responsible for overseeing and managing a classroom in the absence of the regular teacher. The role typically involves maintaining order and ensuring that the students continue with their learning in a productive and positive environment.

While specific duties may vary based on the school's policies and grade levels, here is a general overview of a cover supervisor's job description:

Classroom Management:

Maintain discipline and order within the classroom. Ensure a positive and respectful learning environment. Manage student behaviour and address any disruptions promptly.

Lesson Implementation:

Follow the lesson plans and instructions provided by the absent teacher. Ensure that students are engaged in meaningful learning activities. Answer questions and provide assistance to students as needed.

Attendance and Registration:

Take attendance and report it to the school administration. Administer and collect any assignments or homework assigned by the absent teacher.

Safety and Well-being:

Be aware of and adhere to the school's health and safety policies. Monitor students to ensure their well-being and report any issues to the appropriate staff.

Communication:

Communicate effectively with both students and other school staff. Provide feedback to the regular teacher about the day's activities and any issues that arose.

Flexibility:

Be adaptable and flexible to work across different subjects and grade levels. Be prepared to take on different responsibilities as needed by the school.

Professional Development:

Participate in any relevant training sessions or professional development opportunities provided by the school.

Record Keeping:

Maintain accurate records related to attendance, incidents, and any other relevant information.

Follow School Policies:

Adhere to school policies and procedures at all times.

Supervision during Breaks:

Supervise students during break periods to ensure a safe and orderly environment. It's important for cover supervisors to have good communication skills, classroom management abilities, and the capacity to adapt to different teaching styles and subjects.

While cover supervisors may not have the same level of expertise as subject-specific teachers, they play a crucial role in maintaining continuity in the learning process when the regular teacher is absent.
