Cover Supervisor EDV/2026/OCA/54178 Job at Widnes, England, United Kingdom Full Time

We are looking for a dedicated Cover Supervisor to play a vital role in ensuring students continue to learn in a structured and engaging environment.

This is a fantastic opportunity for individuals looking to gain classroom experience, whether you are considering a career in teaching or simply enjoy working with students in an educational setting.

As our Cover Supervisor you will maximise the learning experiences and achievement of students in assigned classes in the absence of a teaching colleague. You will contribute to the activities of designated curriculum areas and undertake the role of form tutor where needed.

This is an exciting opportunity at Ormiston Chadwick Academy and requires you to be enthusiastic and passionate with the drive to help our students to achieve their very best.

Ormiston Chadwick Academy opened in Widnes in September 2014 serving the community of West Widnes. Our Academy is large enough to offer an outstanding curriculum but small enough to have a strong community ethos in which all students are known and nurtured to achieve their potential.
