  • About The Role

  • Come and work at an exceptional school!

    Working in a school can be one of the most rewarding, exhilarating and exciting experiences.  We also recognise that it can be frustrating and hard work!  We spend a considerable amount of time at work, so it is vital that we are in a place where we feel supported, fulfilled and can enjoy our working life.  We believe we have this at Cleeve Meadow.

    The role of Cover Supervisor/Senior Teaching Assistant is distinct in being supportive for both staff and students, in varying capacities.

    You will be required to deliver lessons on behalf of the class teacher during short-term absences.  Liaise with the class teacher in advance of absences to ensure seating plans are consistent and resources are obtained in advance of the lessons. 

    In supporting teachers as a Senior Teaching Assistant, you will work under the instruction of teaching/senior staff, usually in the classroom to support access to learning for students and provide general support to the teacher in the management of students and the classroom.

    Viewing of the school is welcome.

    Safeguarding
    TKAT is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Offers of employment will be subject to the full safer recruitment process, including an enhanced disclosure and barring service check.

    Flexible working
    TKAT recognises the value of enabling our employees to develop their career and balance this with their commitments and interests outside of work. In TKAT we promote flexible working practices and opportunities to promote a positive work life balance.

    Our Commitment - Equity, Inclusion, Diversity and Belonging
    At TKAT, we are committed to Equity, Inclusion, Diversity, and Belonging. We embrace and celebrate differences, value individual experiences, aspirations, and achievements, and continuously learn how to grow better together. We actively encourage applications from candidates of all backgrounds, as we believe diversity strengthens our community and drives us forward.

    Access to interview
    Be Who You Are at TKAT - should you be selected and invited to interview please let us know if you require us to adapt the recruitment process to enable you to participate as your authentic self.  We want applicants to be able to engage with us in ways that support who they are and we are committed to making adjustments within the recruitment process and within the workplace.

    AI can support your application, but it is the real you we want to hear from!
    AI is making people think about how to complete a job application. Technology is changing and AI tools are evolving constantly. We are definitely not against it, we love to see innovation.  However, here at Cleeve Meadow School, we employ the real you, not the AI version.  Should you choose to use AI to assist with your application, that is your choice, but ensure the final draft presents you! How you think, your professional working history and what drives you.  Here at Cleeve Meadow School we are seeking people who reflect our values, want to make a difference and have the ambition and believe in education’s strength to change lives. This is all you, AI cannot reproduce this passion.  Perhaps AI can help get things flowing, but ensure you as a person are visible and heard.

    Please refer to the Job Description and Person Specification for more information.
