The posting

Join a thriving, ambitious academy and help us to make a difference to the lives of the people in our community.

Joseph Leckie Academy is seeking to appoint a Cover Supervisor to provide continuity of learning when staff are absent, by delivering pre-planned lessons and form times.

Our most recent Ofsted inspection (February 2026) recognised the strength of our provision, noting:

  • “Every pupil who walks through the door of Joseph Leckie Academy is treated as an individual with potential.”
  • “Leaders are ambitious for all pupils and are relentless in their drive to ensure that their needs are met.”
  • “School leaders are passionate about improving pupils' life chances.”

This is an exciting opportunity to join a school with strong standards and a culture built on high expectations, inclusion and continuous improvement.

The Role

Are you a motivated and independent person who is committed to supporting our students and staff? We are looking to appoint a dynamic and forward-thinking Cover Supervisor, to work as part of the Cover team to deliver lessons when staff are absent. The successful person will work under the instruction and guidance of teaching staff, Heads of Subjects and Heads of Year, to undertake the work set by staff to provide programmers of learning, care and support for our students.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who wants to make a difference to the lives of our students. We offer excellent support and a thorough induction programme to guide the successful applicant, whether they are new to the role or experienced in working with students.

In addition, this is an ideal opportunity for the successful candidate, with the right qualifications, to use this as a stepping stone into teaching or to develop skills for other roles in the future, including many opportunities for further professional development within our rapidly expanding Academy.

Experience of working with secondary age students and specific subject knowledge and experience in specialist subject areas, especially core subjects, would be an advantage. The ability to cover practical lessons would also be advantageous.

Why join Joseph Leckie Academy?

You will be part of a school where:

  • Inclusion is a genuine strength — “leaders work closely with families… to support pupils to thrive both academically and socially” .
  • Staff are well supported and part of a skilled and collaborative team.
  • Students are engaged, respectful and proud of their school.
  • There is a clear commitment to continuous improvement and excellence.
  • Friendly and supportive staff across the Academy.
  • High levels of staff retention.
  • A high focus on staff well-being with staff social events, gym access, school counsellor, well-being coordinator for staff and an employee assistance programme.

A large Academy with high standards and an ambitious desire to better the lives of our students and impact further on our wider community.

The successful candidate should:

  • have at least 5 GCSE’s including English and Maths at Level 4 (Grade C) or above and A levels and or higher qualifications would be advantageous.
  • have some experience of working with students at Key stage 3 and 4 in particular.
  • have a passion for learning and working with children to support them in their learning across a range of subjects and topics.
  • be able to work independently and manage own time to arrive on time to cover lessons and deliver the materials set.
  • have the ability to motivate, inspire and go the extra mile for our students.
  • have the ability to stimulate curiosity, interest and enjoyment in lessons covered and develop students wider understanding of the world around them.
  • be able to inspire students and get the best from them.
  • be positive, enthusiastic and resilient.
  • be an effective team member.
  • have highly developed inter - personal skills, communication and excellent ICT skills.
  • be able to work effectively with students, staff and parents.
  • have a clear understanding of the importance of Safeguarding and equal opportunities.
  • meet the job specification criteria.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
