Duties and responsibilities:

  • to work under the direction and guidance of teaching/senior staff and within an agreed system of supervision
  • to implement agreed work programmes with individuals/groups, in or out of the classroom. This could include those requiring detailed and specialist knowledge in particular areas and will involve assisting the teacher in the whole planning cycle and the management/preparation of resources
  • staff may also supervise whole classes occasionally during the short term absence of teachers. The primary focus will be to maintain good order and to keep students on task. Cover Supervisors will need to respond to questions and generally assist students to undertake set activities
