Description

Uppingham School is seeking an experienced Cover Supervisor who can provide supervision of classes when teachers are absent, ensuring that work set by the teacher is completed by the pupils.

The Cover Supervisor’s daily schedule will be organised in liaison with the Deputy Head Academic’s PA. If there are periods in the day when no cover is required, the Cover Supervisor will undertake a range of other support tasks to assist Heads of Departments, the Deputy Head Academic’s PA, the Common Room Secretary, the Exams Officer, the Deputy Head Academic or other colleagues.

  • Wednesday 30am – 4.30pm (including 1 hour lunch break)
  • Thursday 30am – 4.30pm (including 1 hour lunch break)
  • Friday 30am – 1.05pm

The ideal candidate will require previous experience of working with 13-18 year old children, with an interest in education and teaching and a willingness to work flexibly to perform a range of tasks.

In return, Uppingham offers a community that values people. We are warm, compassionate and mutually supportive. This is reflected in our working environment and the benefits we are able to offer:

  • 50% contribution to premiums for School’s private health scheme
