At Cumbria Futures Federation we work at the heart of our communities. Our small secondary schools are inclusive, welcoming and ambitious.  With a wide range of abilities in each class and a broad and balanced curriculum, our ‘Good’ schools punch well above their weight and provide a unique experience for our students. 

We are seeking a Cover Coordinator to work across both of our schools from September 2024, as part of a small and friendly team organising and providing cover for teaching staff and teaching assistants as well as other ad-hoc tasks when time allows. 

We have a strong ethos of pastoral support and extra-curricular learning. As you would expect in small schools with a family ethos, we all pitch in to ensure our students are taught well and supported superbly.

Our small, friendly schools provide excellent opportunities to be involved in school-wide activities as well as managing cover across our schools and personally delivering excellent cover lessons.  The ideal candidate will be able to inspire and engage students in a range of subjects, to form positive relationships and instil a respectful and calm atmosphere in the classroom.  Our behavioural approach is one of high expectations and positive regard, and work in lessons is complimented by strong pastoral support and clear processes to follow.

For additional information and to apply please visit our websites www.solwayschool.co.uk or www.beaconhill.cumbria.sch.uk, or call 016973 31234 or 20509 for an application pack.

Closing date for applications 19th July 2024.  Interviews will be held during the summer.

Our schools take safeguarding very seriously.  All posts involving direct contact with children are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act (ROA) 1974 and the successful applicant will be required to hold or undergo a suitable enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service disclosure.  However, amendments to the ROA 1974 (Exceptions Order 1975 (2013 & 2020)) provide that certain spent convictions and cautions are ‘protected’.  These are not subject to disclosure to employers and cannot be considered.  Guidance and criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found on the Ministry of Justice website or via the Unlock website.

Short-listed candidates will be asked to complete a criminal record self-disclosure form to provide details of all unspent convictions and those that would not be filtered or protected, to be returned to the school prior to the date of the interview.  You may be asked for further information about your criminal history during the recruitment process.  If your application is successful, this criminal record self-disclosure information will be checked against information from the Disclosure & Barring Service before your appointment is confirmed. 

In addition to the above, the school reserves the right to carry out an online search on short-listed candidates.  This will only include a search for information which is publicly available online. Please note it is an offence to apply for the role if the applicant is barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children.
