We invite you to become an integral part of our school community, making a meaningful difference to the lives of the young people we serve.

At Greyfriars, we believe deeply in the potential of every student and are committed to fostering a culture of high aspiration and high achievement. We are a vibrant and improving school, rooted in our Catholic values, which provide strength, purpose and direction for all members of our community. This is an exciting time to join us as we continue to strengthen our curriculum, systems and routines, ensuring the very best experience for our students.

We are seeking to appoint a confident, organised and professional Cover Supervisor who can provide high-quality classroom supervision in the absence of teaching staff. The successful candidate will deliver pre-prepared lessons across a range of subjects, maintaining a calm, purposeful and disruption-free learning environment. Strong communication skills, presence and the ability to build positive, professional relationships with students are essential.

This role is particularly well suited to graduates or individuals considering a future career in teaching. At Greyfriars, we are committed to developing our staff and can offer clear pathways into teaching, including support towards Assessment Only Route (AOR) for QTS, subject to eligibility. The role provides valuable experience in classroom practice, behaviour management and working within a high-expectations school environment.

As part of our team, you will benefit from a strong culture of professional development and the opportunity to grow within a supportive and ambitious school. We are proud to invest in our staff and to support career progression for those who demonstrate commitment and potential.

Our vision at Greyfriars is that we are a Catholic school that champions each and every student so they can flourish individually and collectively. We champion students through excellent teaching, clear routines and high expectations, alongside care and guidance when needed. We believe that working hard and being kind enables students to feel both personally and academically successful.

In this role, you will play a key part in ensuring that learning continues seamlessly and that students remain engaged, supported and successful.

Yours faithfully
