Newark Academy is seeking a dedicated and adaptable Cover Teacher to join our team and provide high-quality classroom supervision across a range of subjects. This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic educator who is committed to maintaining a positive learning environment and supporting students to achieve their full potential.

The successful candidate will be confident managing classes, delivering pre-prepared lessons, and maintaining high standards of behaviour and engagement. Strong communication skills, flexibility, and a proactive approach are essential.

While applications are welcomed from teachers of all specialisms, a Physical Education (PE) specialist would be particularly desirable, as the ability to support and cover PE lessons would be a significant advantage.

If you are passionate about education and enjoy working in a dynamic school environment, we would love to hear from you. Join Newark Academy and play a vital role in ensuring continuity of learning and outstanding support for our students.

The Trust and school are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and we expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All staff will be required to undergo an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check in line with DfE requirements.
