Job overview

Located on an attractive campus close to Huddersfield town centre, with an easy commute from much of the North West and Yorkshire, Greenhead College has been providing the highest quality academic Sixth Form College (16-18) education in the area for 40 years.

At Greenhead College, we are very proud of our students’ achievements and we have a strong ethos of ambition and aspiration which runs through all aspects of College life. The philosophy of the College is based on the understanding that each student is to be valued as an individual. A successful and thriving Sixth Form College, and heavily over-subscribed (there are almost double the number of applicants as there are places to accommodate them), the College delivers A levels - in over 30 subject areas - to over 2,300 students who come from all over Yorkshire and Lancashire.

Greenhead College is recognised locally and nationally as a leading provider of education and has a long history of exceptional results. Our examination results are outstanding: the pass rate at A Level is extremely high, as is the proportion of students gaining top grades. In national education tables Greenhead College is ranked third in two key categories: firstly, in terms of high student grades in key academic subjects valued by leading universities and secondly, for ‘value added’, the measure which judges how much progress students have made on their course since their GCSEs.

The College wishes to appoint a full-time Teacher of Economics to cover a period of maternity leave. The successful applicant will likely teach a mixture of A1 and A2 A-level Economics groups, together with participation in enrichment activities. Whatever your timetable, you can be assured of support and guidance from your Head of Department and colleagues. The full list of criteria required for this role can be found within the person specification attached. Please indicate how you meet this criteria when completing your application.

If you are interested in this vacancy, please complete and submit the following documents:

  • Greenhead College application form;
  • Equality and Diversity form;
  • Criminal Convictions form;
  • A supporting letter of application, with CV, if you      consider it useful;
  • Details of examination results, where applicable, for      classes taught in the last four years.

All applications should be submitted to Jessica Norcliffe, Human Resources Manager, Greenhead College, Greenhead Road, Huddersfield, HD1 4ES, or if you prefer, electronically as an email attachment to jnorcliffe@greenhead.ac.uk

The closing date for applications is Sunday 14 October 2018 and interviews will be held shortly after. 

If you apply and are unsuccessful in being called to interview, can we thank you in advance for your time and trouble in making this application. Due to time constraints it would be impossible to respond to everyone individually - we hope that you will understand.

Greenhead College is committed to safeguarding the welfare of all of its students and staff. The successful candidate will have to meet the requirements of the person specification in order to be offered the post and will be subject to recruitment checks, including an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references. Greenhead College is committed to Equality and Diversity and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.
