Are you looking for a term-time only role? Do you have experience teaching at Level 2 or above? If so, our Cover Supervisor position might be the role for you! Weston College is looking for a Cover Supervisor to join our team on a term-time only basis (37 hours per week, 39 weeks per year), with the role based at one of our campuses within Weston-super-Mare. As this is a term-time only position, the anticipated start date for this role will be September.
As the SEND Cover Supervisor, you will supervise classes in the absence of teaching staff, focusing on maintaining a calm learning environment, managing behaviour, and offering specialised support to students with SEND. You will ensure student safety, facilitate learning and provide feedback to classroom teachers. Due to the nature of the role, you will be working on a term-time only basis (up to 39 weeks per year). During your non-working times, there are no expectations to complete any admin work such as preparation or marking; all aspects of the role will be undertaken during your 39 weeks per year. If you are not required for cover, then you will provide 1:1, small group or in-class support where needed.
To be successful in this role, you will need to be flexible and adaptable as it is highly unlikely that any two days will be the same! You will also need to have a degree-level qualification, have excellent organisational skills and show an empathetic and inclusive approach to learners.
