The King's School is an outstanding 11-18 comprehensive school, which takes great pride in the promotion of excellence in teaching and learning, pastoral care and extra-curricular activities. Our core purpose of 'Achievement for All' encourages every student to develop their skills, interests and talents, not just through academic achievement but also through a rich variety of enrichment opportunities including house competitions, extra-curricular clubs, trips and visits.

To start in September 2024, we are seeking to appoint a Cover Supervisor who can oversee classes when teachers are absent, ensuring that learning in the classroom is maximised.

The successful candidate will facilitate the planned lessons and work with Heads of Department to modify the work set where necessary, ensuring that positive behaviour is maintained in the classroom. In addition to supervising students, the successful candidate will support teachers and subject areas by carrying out administrative duties, such as photocopying, producing resources, communicating with parents and maintaining student information databases. Training will be given in the school’s specific IT software, but the successful candidate will need to be able to use Word, Excel and PowerPoint confidently, competently and accurately.
