Description
We are recruiting a permanent cover teacher for our English and Maths Department to ensure the best learning experiences for our students. Are you an established teacher looking for a new chapter? One that does not involve marking but allows you to showcase your adaptability and teaching skill?
We are looking for an experienced teacher with at least five years teaching experience in teaching English or/and Maths. A successful cover teacher will have experience of teaching GCSE and be adept in managing behaviours and the individual needs of learners in the classroom.
Experience is important because you will be teaching across a range of different departments. A successful candidate will also have strong organisational skills as you will be required to manage your calendar and time effectively. You will need to be a strong communicator, liaising with the many curriculum managers across the college.
There are many benefits of the role, in this cross-college position you will work with many of the college’s staff and students. As a permanent member of staff, you will have access to the same opportunities and support as any teacher in the college, including wellbeing days and CPD events.
A permanent cover teacher will typically teach more hours a week in a classroom than the subject teachers but there are fewer administrative tasks associated with the role, helping to maintain a good work life balance. This role might appeal to those experienced teachers who are looking for a new challenge, who want to experience the teaching of different disciplines and want variety in their teaching day.
