Cover Supervisor (Senior ETA) - Moldgreen Primary School in Huddersfield

Moldgreen Community Primary School is an ambitious, inclusive primary school in Huddersfield with an unwavering commitment to inclusion and equity. Every child here accesses aspirational opportunities and is known, valued and challenged. We hold IQM Flagship School status in recognition of our inclusive ethos and the quality of provision we offer to all children, including those with SEND. Our curriculum is carefully designed to inspire every child and develop the foundations for lifelong learning. Pupil voice is strong, community links are deep, and our staff team is exceptional. Staff at Moldgreen speak openly about the strong sense of value and belonging they feel. Our leadership team is visible, supportive and committed to the professional growth of every colleague. If you want to make a real difference in a school that will invest in you, we want to hear from you.

We are recruiting two Cover Supervisors to join our support staff team, each with a specific phase focus:

• Post 1 – EYFS and Year 1: Working alongside our SENDCo/Early Years Leader and class teachers to support children in our early years and Key Stage 1 environment.
• Post 2 – Years 2 to 6: Working across year groups, including supporting the delivery of our oracy and writing curriculum and evidence-informed interventions.

In both roles, you will supervise whole classes during short-term teacher absence, delivering pre-set learning activities with confidence and consistency. When not covering, you will work alongside teachers to support individuals and small groups, contribute to assessment and planning, and help maintain the positive and purposeful learning environment our children thrive in.

• You will be an experienced, confident practitioner who can take charge of a classroom calmly and professionally.
• Experience of working with children in a school setting, ideally across more than one year group.
• Strong behaviour management skills, including de-escalation approaches.
• The ability to deliver pre-planned lessons independently and manage a class effectively.
• A good understanding of child development, learning strategies and the National Curriculum.
• Knowledge of SEND and experience of adapting support for a range of needs.
• NVQ Level 3 or equivalent (Level 3 Supporting Teaching and Learning in Schools preferred).
• GCSE Grade 4 or above in English and Maths, or equivalent.
• A genuine commitment to safeguarding and the welfare of children.

What Moldgreen offers you:

• A warm, collegiate staff team with a strong sense of shared purpose.
• Visible, hands‑on leadership with a genuine open door.
• A structured coaching model with peer observation, reflective dialogue and shared practice.
• Meaningful CPD and development opportunities tailored to your role and career aspirations.
• A well‑resourced, well‑maintained working environment.
• A school community where your contribution is noticed and valued.
