The Role

Hours: Full time, 37.5 hours a week, term time with additional days (including insets)

Contract: Permanent

Required: November 2022

Putney High School has an excellent opportunity for an organised individual with excellent time management and administrative skills to play a dual role as Cover Supervisor.

The Cover Supervisor’s main responsibility is organising both planned and unplanned absences and ensuring all classes across the senior school are covered.

At Putney High School, the Cover Supervisor does not need to come from a teaching or education background as the administrative and planning aspects are more demanding and pivotal to the success of the role.

The position requires covering some lessons with our enthusiastic and keen students who love learning. Within this role, you will interact with all school staff so good communication is essential.
