Classroom Manager - Behaviour support

An incredibly exciting, full time opportunity has arisen in Rhondda Cynon Taf

The head of behaviour and inclusion in a RCT secondary school is looking to appoint two cover supervisors to work in the school from November 4^th until the end of the academic year. Having worked on a day by day supply basis through external agencies, the school has noticed the negative impact the inconsistency of staff and behaviour management has had on the pupils learning. They want recognisable and consistent new faces to join their ambitious faculty for the whole school year.

The role

• Full time school hours (Monday – Friday 8:30-15:30)
• Be able to facilitate lessons already prepared by class teacher
• From November 4^th – July 20^th 2020
• Secondary school teaching ages 11-16
• Based at one school as the main support for course cover, internal sickness and trips. The school is in the RCT area and will be disclosed to shortlisted applicants.
• GBP60-GBP75 a day
• No lesson planning required

In summary, the school is looking for two cover supervisors who can work full time until the end of July 2020, with a view of being taken onto permanent contract. Candidates must have excellent classroom management and be able to prevent disruptive pupils from affecting the rest of the class.

This opportunity is due to the school implementing a strong behavioural ethos under a new headship and SLT team. The progress the school has made from last year is very impressive, however the new reputation and pride taken into driving a positive and inclusive vision for all to learn is at the core of the leadership team. They are very protective over their vision for the school and as a result want staff who will also share their passion and commitment to upholding this.

In the past, former teaching and support staff who have been introduced to the school via Teaching Personnel have been offered permanent contracts, or have been able to use the year to gain valuable experience before enrolling onto a PGCE.

Essentials

Excellent behaviour management- The behaviour in the school has seen a massive improvement, however, as with any comprehensive school, there are times pupils will act up, particularly to an unfamiliar face.
