We are building a team of Cover Supervisors in our school. There is opportunity for progression for the right candidate. The team’s remit is to cover for absent teachers, managing the classroom as absences occur as a first port of call. Every day is different, and the variety of the role means you will access many children, subject areas and aspects of our school. You will join our team and become part of our wider team and participate in a strong extra-curricular programme. When not required for cover duties, you will support teachers in classrooms with supporting learning.

There is potential for it to develop into a teaching role longer term and it provides a useful step into teaching within our school or trust for any interested candidate. It’s also an integral role for those who want to work in schools. Previous post holders have used it as a stepping stone into teaching and pastoral work within schools.

Education Learning Trust is a Multi-Academy Trust, educating over 3500 pupils from age 2 to 16 in the Greater Manchester area. We are very proud of our inclusive ethos to Collaborate, Empower and Achieve and provide over 450 employees with an inspiring and innovative place to work, with exceptional training and development opportunities.

As a Trust employee you will receive excellent benefits, including a highly competitive salary, well-regarded pension scheme, excellent career development opportunities and support for your health and wellbeing, with our award-winning employee assistance programme.

Our vision at ELT is to create an exceptional learning journey for all, by providing:

exciting, innovative and challenging learning communities
school improvement strategies arising from evidenced based research and professional enquiry
opportunities for professional development and leadership
a celebration of the diversity and uniqueness of individual settings
Innovation in practice by recognising the value of learning partnerships, both locally and nationally

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

We ensure that we have a range of policies and procedures that promote safeguarding and safer working practices. This is in line with statutory guidance including Keeping Children Safe in Education and The Education Act 2002.

All offers of employment are subject to a safer recruitment process, including the disclosure of criminal records, online checks and vetting checks. It is an offence to apply for a role if you are barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children.

We are committed to fulfilling our Equality Duty obligations, including valuing equality and diversity and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

We are committed to employment practices that promote diversity and inclusion in employment regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment, sex, marriage and civil partnership status, pregnancy and maternity status, race, religion or belief.

We expect the successful candidate to have the necessary standard of spoken English, as described under Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016, the Public Sector fluency duty that requires state funded schools to ensure candidates for their customer facing roles have the necessary standard of spoken English (or English or Welsh in Wales).

Candidates should apply by completing the ELT application form, CVs alone will not be accepted in accordance with Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE).
