Advert

Leigh Academy Tonbridge has a fantastic opportunity to appoint a Cover Manager to join our established team, starting as soon as possible. The appointed candidate will work with our team of experienced Cover Supervisors who work across the academy.

The purpose of the Cover Manager role is to plan, communicate and implement daily cover for staff absence. Where necessary to liaise with external agencies to provide effective short-term cover for teacher absence. The Cover Manager will also cover lessons for absent colleagues which will include leading the lesson which has been set by the class teacher/department. The classroom-based part of the role will be to give instruction and to ensure an appropriate climate for learning. You will be required to respond to pupils’ needs in the lesson and ensure adherence to academy policies for upholding the highest expectations and support for students to succeed, under the professional direction of teachers.

This role would be ideal for candidates wishing to gain valuable classroom experience; possibly as a precursor to teacher training or studying for a classroom support qualification. But would equally suit individuals who believe in the power of education to change lives and communities, and wish to contribute to the lives of young people.

This is a permanent position offering an actual salary ranging between £17,806 - £18,671 per annum (£22,595 - £23,693 full-time equivalent), commensurate with experience. This is based on 33.75 hours per week, Term time + 1 week of inset. The working hours are 8.00 am - 3.15 pm, Monday to Friday with a 30-minute break each day.
