Cover Supervisor

Biddenham is an 11-19, oversubscribed school that, as we expand, is entering the next phase of its development. Due to our popularity, we need to grow and strengthen our already high performing staff team who, by 2026, will be working with 1500 students. Our recent Ofsted report (Nov 2024) described us as a ‘United family’ and was an accurate account of the school. Needless to say, the successful applicant will be joining the school at an exciting time in its development.

To start in September 2026, we are expanding our Cover team and seek to appoint a motivated and enthusiastic Cover Supervisor who will work to cover lessons across all subjects in the school. We work collaboratively to provide high standards of learning and teaching for every student. The successful candidates will also work alongside the Learning Support Department.

The successful candidate will need to be:

Able to work with and inspire young people
Creative and innovative
Dedicated to improving the learning outcomes of all students
Passionate about teaching and learning

As a school we offer:

A diverse workplace,
Chromebooks for all classroom staff and students,
Exceptional professional development and career progression,
A supportive environment for ECTs allowing them to thrive,
Positive working relationships at all levels (with a healthy dose of humour!),
A supportive leadership team,
A genuine focus on staff wellbeing with an employee support resource,
Children of staff are prioritised in our admissions criteria,
Cycle to work and Tech scheme for all staff.

This position would ideally suit degree qualified candidates who are interested in gaining teaching experience prior to applying for a teaching qualification. Our Cover Supervisors often move into the teaching profession. Biddenham has a comprehensive professional development programme and has successfully trained many graduates who have gained their teaching qualification through us.

Applications are welcome from degree qualified candidates and experienced practitioners, but we will also consider candidates educated to Level 3/A Level.
