Cover Supervisor - Penglais Comprehensive School

Salary: 25,584 - 26,835 *

About the role
We seek to appoint a Cover Supervisor who will be responsible for providing high quality supervision for students during lessons when a member of staff is absent. In addition, you will provide administrative support to Faculty Leaders.

The right candidate will enjoy working in a dynamic and very busy environment, when 'thinking on your feet' is often required using their own initiative whilst working alongside staff and students to ensure that all lessons are of a high standard. This is a role that would suit a flexible individual who enjoys a very hands-on and multi-tasking approach to the working day.

This is an ideal opportunity for an ambitious candidate to play a key role in increasing the aspirations and success of our students, thereby contributing to the journey of Ysgol Penglais School in becoming an excellent school.

Ysgol Penglais School has much to offer:

• a research-based school with good relationships between staff and students
• a commitment to the professional development of all its staff to become outstanding teachers and leaders
• access to the bustling university town of Aberystwyth
• located on the beautiful Ceredigion coast, an area of natural beauty
