Substitute Teacher

The school based in the Gosport area are seeking to employ a Cover Teacher to start in January. The school is considered to be a ‘good’ school where “staff combine their support to help every pupil achieve academically with kindness and care”.

Cover Supervisors/teachers are needed to cover a teachers short term absence from the classroom where the absence was not known about in advance. Pupils in these classes will carry out a pre-prepared exercise under supervision; no active teaching takes place.

The duties of a substitute teacher can be summarised as:

• Supervising the work that has been set on the lesson plan provided, using the necessary resources that have also been provided.
• Managing the behaviour of pupils in line with the school’s behaviour policy.
• Responding to any questions that pupils might have about the process.
• Dealing with any immediate problems or emergencies in line with school policy and procedures.
• Collecting any completed work at the end of the lesson and returning it to the teacher.
• Reporting back as appropriate on any issues that arose during the lesson.

The role would be well suited to someone who is an already experienced cover supervisor looking a new exciting challenge, a learning support assistant seeking career progression or a teacher who is looking for a reduced teaching timetable. The school would also welcome applications from graduates who have a genuine desire to work in education and better the lives of the next generation of those who wish to progress to initial teacher training in the future.
