The Trustees are seeking to appoint two Cover Supervisors for Sedgefield Community College from September 2024.

Would you like to progress your career in a school judged by Ofsted to be ‘outstanding’ and where student achievement and attitudes are amongst the best across our entire region?  Would you like to work in a school that enjoys exceptional facilities in our state-of-the-art building and where staff wellbeing and opportunities for professional development are at the heart of everything we do?  If the answer to both of these questions is, ‘Yes,’ then Sedgefield Community College could be the right school for you.

We invite applications from suitably qualified and experienced individuals to apply for this exciting opportunity to join the school team. If you are enthusiastic about working in a school environment as a career and would like to gain experience in the classroom in a forward-thinking school we would welcome an application from you. You will be required to supervise whole classes during the short-term absence of the class teacher, implement work programmes, manage student behaviour and assist students in relevant activities in line with the school’s policies.
