Required to start as soon as possible, subject to all clearances being in place. Our team of Cover Supervisors at Lord Lawson is professional, dynamic, and committed to providing a transformational education for all students. We believe in raising student achievement and supporting individual needs through the interventions we offer. The team consists of an Assistant Principal and four other Cover Supervisors. Each member brings a unique background and subject specialism. Together, we work collaboratively to maintain the quality of learning across the academy and provide targeted support for students.

As a Cover Supervisor, you play a key role in ensuring the consistent delivery of high-quality lessons and maintaining standards across the academy. With a flexible and supportive approach, our team not only supports colleagues throughout the school but also strives to bring continuity to students' learning. We value staff development and encourage a collaborative approach to sharing best practices across the school. You will be supported through professional learning opportunities and will engage with the wider school community.

This is an exceptional opportunity to join us on our journey towards becoming one of the best schools in the Northeast of England.
