Cover Supervisor - Clyst Vale Community College
- Exeter, Devon
- Multiple Terms
- Grade D Point 12: £20,032 per annum (actual salary)

Clyst Vale is a thriving and vibrant 11- 16 Community College situated five miles from Exeter. Visitors to Clyst Vale usually comment on the friendly, orderly atmosphere, the courtesy of our students, and the purposefulness in lessons. We have clear expectations and systems, but far more important are the excellent working relationships we establish between staff and students, as well as staff and parents. We remain the only Secondary school in Devon to be accredited Gold Rights Respecting School status.
The Role
Starting as soon as possible, we are looking to appoint a highly motivated, organised and confident person to join our team as a Cover Supervisor who can oversee classes when teachers are absent, ensuring that learning in the classroom is maximised.
We are looking for someone who has previous experience of working in the education sector and is adaptable and open to development. This is an ideal opportunity for somebody who is maybe thinking of a career in teaching, or an ECT who is yet to secure their first teaching appointment.
The successful candidate will deliver lessons planned by the teacher but have the ability to improvise if required and work with Heads of Departments to modify the work set. You will ensure that positive behaviour is shown in the classroom and challenge serious behaviour problems in line with the College's behaviour policy. Training will be given in the college's specific IT software, but the successful candidate will need to be able to use Word and Excel proficiently. If you have excellent communication skills, a resilient personality and can confidently liaise with teachers, other members of staff and parents where required, we would love to hear from you.
