The Howard School is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and dynamic Cover Supervisor who is committed to excellence with immediate effect.

The successful candidate will ensure that there is an engaging and safe working environment for classes whose teacher is absent in order for all students to be able to access and complete the work set by the member of teaching staff.

The school is offering an honorarium of £1.5k. This is split into the following payments - £750 subject to the successful completion of a 6-month probationary period, and a further £750 to be paid in the second year of employment. This is subject to the successful candidate remaining at the school for at least that next year.

This is an exciting time to join The Howard with a number of significant changes planned for the near future that will support our move towards excellence. We have just opened a brand new Science and DT block in November 2021, which sees a fantastic £5m investment in The Howard School, from the Department of Education. This state-of-the-art block has already been a hit with pupils and staff, helping the pupils to further their learning in a purpose built environment.

What can we offer you?

The successful candidate will be someone who is genuinely passionate about teaching. In return, we can promise an investment in you and your future, offering a competitive remuneration package, providing first class professional development and career opportunities.

The Howard Academy Trust started in Autumn 2015 and continues to grow.

We currently comprise of 3 secondary and 4 primary academies in Medway and Kent. We have future growth plans as a Multi Academy Trust with major projects taking place across the organisation. Our overarching aim and vision for our schools is “working together to create a community of successful learners”. In doing this, we will deliver an outstanding education for the children and young people who attend our academies. We endeavour to ensure that all our pupils have access to the highest standards of teaching, resources and opportunities.

The Trust’s role is to oversee the leadership and vision of member schools and to develop effective and supportive partnerships between them. We have a firm belief within the Trust that every child should have access to at least a good education. We are proud that every academy inspected since joining our Trust has remained as a Good school or improved their Ofsted Rating. Both Temple Mill Primary School and Waterfront UTC joined the Trust as sponsored academies and have moved from Special Measures to a Good school on their first inspection. Our schools serve their own community, and each has a unique identity. Being part of this Multi Academy Trust has already provided member schools with practical benefits. We want communities to be proud of their local THAT school and we are determined to make it the first choice for all families.
