Permanent

Start Date: June 2025

H5 £21,900 to £23,700

35 Hours - Term Time and 5 x INSET days only

Robert Barclay Academy is seeking a committed, enthusiastic, and adaptable individual to join our team as a Lead Cover Supervisor. This is a fantastic opportunity to support the day-to-day learning of our students and gain valuable experience within a vibrant and dedicated school community.

In this varied and rewarding role, you will:

• Supervise classes during the short-term absence of teaching staff
• Support student learning within a specific department
• Assist with departmental administration tasks

While previous experience in a school setting is desirable, it is not essential — full training and ongoing support will be provided to the successful candidate.

This position is also ideal for anyone considering a future in teaching. Many of our former Cover Supervisors have gone on to complete teacher training and now work in permanent teaching roles — a testament to the strong support and development opportunities we offer.

We are proud of our committed team and our shared goal of helping every student achieve their full potential. If you are looking for a role that is both challenging and highly rewarding, and you are passionate about making a positive impact on young people’s lives, we would love to hear from you.

If you are interested in joining us at this exciting time, further details and an application pack is available from HR@scholarseducationtrust.co.uk or on 01727 859382.

We reserve the right to make an appointment before the closing date, so early applications are encouraged.

Closing date: 9am Tuesday 6 May 2025
