What skills and experience we're looking for
Are you considering a career change? Thinking of working with young people? Perhaps contemplating teaching as a possible career in the future, then this may be the role for you. A Cover Supervisor will undertake the supervision of classes in the absence of teachers and provide support for teaching staff and extracurricular activities.
You must be educated to GCSE level with proficiency in Maths and English, have good communication skills with an ability to clarify and explain instructions clearly and be adaptable and flexible. Experience of working in a school environment would be advantageous but is not essential.
The post of Cover Supervisor is to ensure teacher absence for whatever reason (sickness, professional development, meetings, etc.) can be covered by our own staff, who will be known to our students and familiar with the day-to-day procedures around the school. This alleviates difficulties finding supply teachers, whose teaching abilities can sometimes be undermined if they are new to the school and its students.
You will be required to cover classes in the absence of the class teacher across both campuses, therefore we are looking for someone with good organisational skills, who is patient and assertive with a good sense of fairness and discipline. You will be expected to maintain behaviour management standards of children, which on occasion can be challenging, and possess the ability to motivate and encourage children appropriately to make positive choices. The ability to form good relationships with our students and staff and play an active role in the school is essential. Duties will be varied and, as well as class cover, could include; providing classroom support, arranging displays of student work, preparing for open evenings or exams and other administrative tasks in support of the teacher. It will require a flexible and proactive approach, so that students can gain access to the work set and complete it in the time allowed. A non-confrontational approach to the students is essential. Training will be provided, but the post will only suit someone who can communicate with young people.
This post offers an exciting career opportunity for either someone new to the education sector, by providing an excellent opportunity to gain experience of working in schools, or for experienced individuals looking for fresh challenges. Training is provided which includes a comprehensive induction programme.
What the school offers its staff
Our Ofsted report from February 2024 stated that at Crestwood “there is a welcoming, friendly atmosphere”. They also said that “teachers and support staff, including those in the early stages of their career, are proud to work at the school. They particularly value school leader's careful consideration of their workload and well-being so that they can focus their efforts fully on pupils’ education.” In addition, Ofsted report that “many pupils, staff and parents describe the school as a ‘big family’.
As Head Teacher, I have a clear vision and an absolute determination, alongside my team, to continue to improve even further the provision of education across Eastleigh.
The Ofsted report states that “Leaders and governors are driven by a strong sense of moral purpose. They are ambitious for pupils’ futures and drive to provide the best opportunities for them. Staff share these aspirations and are loyal and committed”.
We care deeply about our school, the staff, the students and the community we serve, we are a school with a heart. We as a school are clear about our improvement agenda and we work cohesively as a school wide team. As this was our fifth consecutive “good” grading it demonstrates that at Crestwood we are continually providing a consistent quality in all we do, against a backdrop of tougher standards and criteria to be judged against.
As a school we take staff well-being seriously. We offer staff the following:
• wellbeing weeks, with no commitments scheduled after school
• free lunch every day
• free tea and coffee
• half termly cooked breakfasts
• One well-being day per year (during term-time), to be taken at their chosen time (after a qualifying period and acceptable levels of attendance)
• weekly thank you bulletin
• birthday cards
• heads discretionary leaves of absence for family events
• acts of random kindness
• access to mental health first aider
This is an exciting time in our school’s history. Eastleigh is a changing town, with much development in both business and residential areas. There has been an expansion in the primary sector with several local schools undergoing expansion to their buildings to accommodate the growth in student numbers. Crestwood merged with the former Quilley School in 2016 to provide one secondary school for Eastleigh, something new and exciting, offering high quality education for the children of Eastleigh. In 2022 we became oversubscribed in every year group and are operating a waiting list across both campuses. The two campuses are situated at Shakespeare Road and Cherbourg Road and both offer the same high quality education to all year groups with little movement of students. Staff are expected to teach across both sites and play an active part in their innovative and high-performing teams. Our first six years of operation has been successful in establishing a strong culture and ethos, typified by the #Crestwoodfamily
