Cover Supervisors Needed in StaffordWhat is the role of a Cover Supervisor?Working as a cover supervisor can be extremely rewarding but also very demanding. There is a high level of responsibility and although there is always a teacher close at hand if needed, there is a large amount of autonomy. A cover supervisor is likely to be used for short-term absences of a teacher. These might be known in advance (for example, where a teacher has a medical appointment or is undergoing professional development) or unexpected (for example, absence due to illness).On a daily basis, cover supervision is more than likely to include: *Supervising work that has been set in accordance with the school policy *Managing the behaviour of pupils whilst they are undertaking this work to ensure a constructive environment; *Responding to any questions from pupils about process and procedures; *Dealing with any immediate problems or emergencies according to the school's policies and procedures; *Reporting back as appropriate using the school's agreed referral procedures on the behaviour of pupils during the class, and any issues arising. The working day is usually during school hours and often, term time only. Qualifications and skills neededApplicants must be working towards a degree. In general terms, those undertaking cover supervision should:a) be familiar with the full range of school policies, particularly those regarding health and safety, equal opportunity issues and special educational needs (SEN);b) have the necessary skills to manage safely classroom activities, the physical learning space and resources for which they are responsible;c) understand and be able to use a range of strategies to deal with classroom behavior as a whole and also individual behavioral needs.REC DCSF Quality markBirmingham City Council Best Business Award for work Life Balance 2006, 2007 and 2008 HSBC Start up Stars - Regional FinalistsUPS and BRMB Best Local Business Chosen by Theo Paphitis from BBCs Dragons DenAspire People Limited provides services as an Education Agency and an Education Employment Business.
