Summary

We are seeking an inspirational Cover Supervisor to help ensure the highest possible standards of teaching and learning are maintained in the absence of teaching staff. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a school with some of the strongest student outcomes in Somerset – both in terms of academic achievement and progression onto meaningful post-16 education and training. In September 2025, our outcomes placed Preston among the top three schools in Somerset for Attainment 8, with particularly strong results in Maths.

Preston School has a clear and ambitious vision: To Achieve Excellence, by Inspiring Ambition – For Every Student, Every Day. We are committed to delivering outstanding education and wider opportunities for our students, and we seek a Cover Supervisor who wholeheartedly shares this vision.

Based in the heart of Somerset, the successful applicant will benefit from beautiful surroundings, a strong commitment to continued professional development and join a welcoming and supportive staff community.

We encourage early applications for this role as we reserve the right to close the vacancy early if we receive sufficient applications for the role.

What We Are Looking For:

• An inspirational Cover Supervisor

• A commitment to ensuring high standards of teaching and learning in the absence of teaching staff

• A colleague who sets and upholds high expectations for students’ behaviour and attitudes

• This role is suitable for both experienced staff and those interested in exploring teaching as a profession

What We Offer:

• A school ranked in the top 3 in Somerset for academic attainment in the last academic year

• Clear and consistent behaviour management routines, with centralised detentions

• A focus on workload and wellbeing, with strong centralised curriculum planning

• Strong links within the Midsomer Norton Schools Partnership which support strong continued professional development and further career opportunities for our staff

• A Cycle to Work scheme and free eye tests, along with access to an employee benefits platform
