The Carlton Academy is seeking to appoint a highly skilled and talented cover supervisor.

When not required to cover lessons for absent teachers, cover supervisors act as in-class support or help departments with some administrative tasks, including the display of learning resources and work.

This position is an ideal opportunity for someone wishing to pursue a career in education and may suit a qualified teacher looking to step down from a full teaching role, a graduate looking to gain experience before teacher training or an adult with experience of working with young people.

As Redhill Academy Trust is committed to safeguarding children practices, any appointment will be subject to an enhanced DBS and Child barred list checks, social media presence check and successful references.

The Carlton Academy is a ‘good’ and over-subscribed 11-18 academy and part of Redhill Academy Trust. The Academy is also a member of Redhill College of Leadership and Development and as such there are excellent CPD opportunities and a chance to work alongside colleagues from other high-performing schools in the region. The Trust also leads the regional Teaching School Hub, delivering local teacher training and the National Professional Qualifications for teachers.
