Teacher of English

Buttershaw Business & Enterprise College is an improving school. We are an ambitious, community-focused academy of just over 1400 students serving an area of social deprivation on the southern edge of Bradford and seven miles from Leeds. BBEC is popular locally and is rapidly becoming the school of choice for the community of Buttershaw; for the last three years we have been over-subscribed in Year 7.

The school has undergone change over recent years; these changes have resulted in greater success for our students. We are on a trajectory of rapid improvement. We believe students’ education is not a dress rehearsal; they only get one chance and it is important that our school provides a safe, happy environment where our young people feel valued and can learn and fulfil their potential. At BBEC we understand the importance of great teaching and our students being successful academically, but as well as this we offer fantastic opportunities for children to develop skills and interests beyond the classroom. We believe this helps students have a fully rounded, exciting learning experience so that they can thrive and be prepared for adult life.

We are a truly comprehensive school and we welcome all children. We have a fantastic mix of students with different skills and talents. The breadth of our curriculum is designed to include a range of academic and innovative courses for all abilities, from the university bound to those with additional learning needs. We are truly proud of our inclusive approach and our commitment to see every child reach his or her potential. We expect all staff to work hard to ensure that we fulfil this aim.

At BBEC, we recognise that our staff are our biggest asset. We believe that our children deserve only the best quality staff so recruit carefully and invest in training to ensure continues improvement and an excellent quality of education.

We are looking for a teacher of English who:

• has successful experience of teaching English in a secondary school.

• has successful experience of teaching a range of abilities.

• has a passion for education and a deep-felt desire to make a difference for young people.

If you have the vision and desire to make a difference to our wonderful young people we would like to hear from you. We would be normally be delighted to meet you to share our vision with you, in these more difficult times we are happy to speak to via telephone or Microsoft Teams. If you would like to arrange to speak to us, please contact Anna Krywyszyn on 07469 354516, or by email at alk@buttershaw.net.

Applications must be received by the closing date of 9am on Thursday 13 May 2021. Interviews to be held on Wednesday 19 May 2021.

Buttershaw Business and Enterprise College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  This post is subject to an Enhanced DBS Check.
