Support Staff - Cover Supervisor

The Regis is a school that we all feel proud of, and our teachers are passionate about their work. We know that teaching can be a challenging profession, but with the support we offer and a commitment to seeing the best in each other, we work tirelessly to find creative ways to educate. The Regis School is a secondary 11-18 school with over 1600 students on roll. We are an inclusive comprehensive school that aims to achieve the best for every student. This philosophy is reflected in the successful Sixth Form of 160+ students who are offered a broad range of academic and vocational programmes. Over 70% of our students progress to Higher Education each year.

The Regis School has a well-qualified, dedicated supportive and enthusiastic staff team. We have approximately 200 staff, all of whom are committed to providing the best possible education for our students. As one of the biggest employers in Bognor Regis, we emphasise the learning of adults and young people. Staff are involved in further study, research projects and in the training of teachers in partnership with local universities.

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic individual to support teaching and learning within our school. The role involves delivering lessons in the absence of a class teacher, to ensure that students continue to learn new knowledge or have opportunities to revisit prior knowledge, continuing to make progress through the curriculum. This post is ideal for those who have a passion for working with young people, and a love of learning who are looking for a career in teaching and thinking of applying for a PGCE, Teach First or School Direct course, OR for a qualified teacher either looking for a more flexible way of working or wanting to continue to gain experience before securing a permanent post in their subject specialism. You must have at least a grade 4/C in Maths and English for this role.

Responsibilities:

• Supervising students to complete their learning, delivering prepared resources when a teacher is absent, promoting engagement and supporting progress of students.
• Creating a calm and purposeful environment in which students can complete work set productively.
• Setting and maintaining high expectations and standards around effort and behaviour.
• Following the school’s systems to ensure a disruption free learning environment for all pupils.
• Establishing purposeful and positive relationships with students.

The role involves you being in front of classes of students (across the secondary age range), delivering lessons. You would be sharing prepared resources with students across multiple subjects, ensuring students complete the work that has been set to the best of their ability. We role model our school values and ethos, ensuring our students thrive and flourish both within and beyond the classroom.

Skills and attributes:

• Highly adaptable, responsive, and flexible in how you work.
• Have excellent communication skills.
• A calm, fair, positive, and warm manner, as well as being firm and assertive when needed.
• A love of learning and working with young people.
• Motivated to learn and develop.

Benefits:

• We offer a highly competitive benefits package, including excellent pay, a generous pension scheme, enhanced parental leave, reduced gym membership for our on-site facilities, discounted nursery fees, a laptop, and access to a car leasing scheme.
• After six months, staff also benefit from Westfield Benefits, providing discounts on shopping, travel, and holidays, as well as a free Health Cash Plan covering dental, optical, and other treatments.
• Above all, we are committed to ensuring our staff feel valued, supported, and empowered.
• We offer more pay, more time, and more support —including three additional INSET days for planning, a guaranteed personal day each year, exceptional training and career development, and a culture that genuinely invests in its people.
