It is an exciting time to join the team at Harlington School. With a new Headteacher in post since Summer 2022, a new building opening in Autumn 2023 and a new vision for the school, it is the perfect time to join our journey. Harlington is a happy, successful and oversubscribed school, where staff retention rates are excellent. We are a dynamic and passionate team of associate and teaching staff, who put the students in our Harlington family at the heart of everything we do. We employ colleagues who have a passion for working in a diverse, multicultural school.
The Cover Supervisor is a member of the Associate Staff Team, reporting to the Director of Finance and Operations. There are two cover supervisors including this post, who provide cover in various classrooms across the school. We also have an Online Learning Centre (OLC), a room that can facilitate up to 60 students undertaking cover work under the supervision of the OLC Manager. When not tasked with cover supervision, the Cover Supervisor is based in our alternative provision, providing additional support there, or undertaking break or lunch duties as part of their role. The Cover Supervisor can also be asked to invigilate examinations, or provide support for trips and events.
The Cover Supervisors at Harlington are an established and consistent team, who support our staff and students when staff have planned, or unplanned absence. In addition, from September, the team will support a rota to cover on Back on Track – a short term pupil removal facility that supports the school behaviour for learning policy and framework.
Our cover supervisor team are well respected by students and staff alike, and fulfil an essential role in providing continuity of learning to our students in the event of their usual teachers’ absence.
