The posting

Are you passionate about supporting young people and helping them succeed in the classroom?

We are seeking a dedicated, adaptable, and enthusiastic Cover Supervisor to join Lift Four Dwellings Secondary. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who enjoys working with young people and wants to play a vital role in ensuring high-quality learning continues during teacher absences.

As a Cover Supervisor, you will be a familiar and trusted adult in our school community, supervising lessons across a range of subjects, maintaining positive behaviour, and supporting students to stay focused and engaged in their learning.

This role would suit someone considering a future career in teaching, education, youth work, or pastoral support, as well as experienced Cover Supervisors seeking their next opportunity.

Your new school

Four Dwellings Academy is part of Lift Schools, a national trust of 58 schools across the country, including 10 schools in the Midlands.

Led by Principal Claire Stoneman, the school has undergone significant transformation and improvement. We are proud to be known as a "small school with a big heart", where students are supported in a nurturing and ambitious environment.

Recent highlights include:

  • Most improved school in South Birmingham for progress in 2024
  • Among the most improved schools nationally
  • A recent Good Ofsted judgement
  • The best GCSE results in the school's history

Our school values are built around the Three R's:

  • Respect - treating others with kindness and dignity
  • Resilience - persevering through challenges
  • Responsibility - taking ownership of our actions and our futures

These values underpin our culture and guide the way we support our students every day.

Your new role

As a Cover Supervisor, you will supervise classes during the short-term absence of teaching staff, ensuring students continue learning in a safe, calm and productive environment.

You will deliver pre-prepared lesson materials, support students' learning, manage behaviour effectively, and provide feedback to teaching staff following lessons. You will also lead our 'super cover' provision, when multiple classes require cover alongside a second member of staff.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Supervising classes across a range of subjects during teacher absences
  • Delivering lesson materials prepared by teaching staff
  • Leading super cover alongside a second member of staff
  • Maintaining a positive and orderly classroom environment
  • Supporting students to stay on task and complete work to the best of their ability
  • Supporting students with SEND and helping to implement EHCP and IEP targets where appropriate
  • Recording attendance accurately and reporting any concerns
  • Providing feedback to teachers regarding student progress, engagement and behaviour
  • Liaising with pastoral teams regarding student welfare concerns
  • Supporting wider academy activities, including student supervision and enrichment opportunities

You will work closely with teaching, SEND and pastoral teams to ensure every student receives the support they need to thrive.

What you'll need to succeed

We are looking for someone who:

  • Holds GCSE Maths and English (Grade 4/C or above) or equivalent qualifications
  • Has experience working with children and young people
  • Can build positive and productive relationships with students
  • Has strong behaviour management and communication skills
  • Is calm, resilient and adaptable in a fast-paced school environment
  • Can work effectively as part of a team
  • Is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people
  • Has excellent organisational skills and can manage competing priorities

Who is Lift Schools?

Lift Schools is made up of 62 primary, secondary and special schools, educating more than 35,000 pupils across the country. We believe education can transform lives - and we want every child in our schools to achieve their full potential.

How we support you

We want you to feel supported, valued and able to grow throughout your career with Lift Schools. From high-quality professional development and career progression to wellbeing support and opportunities to connect and collaborate across our network, we invest in you so you can do your best work.

This is a fixed-term position working 32.5 hours per week, from 8:15am to 3:15pm, until 31 August 2027. We highly recommend that prospective candidates visit Lift Four Dwellings Secondary before submitting an application to better understand our culture, values, and the important work taking place at the school.
