Teacher of English

Possibility for a second in department role for a suitable candidate

We are looking to recruit a highly passionate English teacher, who shares our commitment to academic excellence and promotes a love of their subject. We require a practitioner who is highly motivated to help every child succeed and has an unrelenting drive to improve the life chances of our children here in Weymouth. The successful applicant will be joining an already creative and incredibly welcoming department, who share this same drive and purpose for their students. Ability to teach a second subject is desirable but not essential.

Budmouth Academy is a large school catering to students across all key stages from KS3-5. We are situated in a beautiful part of the country and are members of the Aspirations Academies Trust.

What we offer:

● A diverse and broad curriculum across every key stage and one which you can help adapt and craft.

● A culture of collaboration on projects and planning, to allow you to feel instantly part of a vibrant team and to ensure you maintain a healthy work-life balance.

● A centralised behaviour policy to help support you and to allow you to focus on delivering high quality lessons.

● The opportunity of teaching our highly engaged sixth form students in A level Literature, Language, Law and Film Studies.

● The opportunity to progress your career with a highly successful and supportive tailored ECT/CPD programme.

This post would suit both an ECT at the beginning of their teaching journey or an established teacher ready to take on new opportunities.

As your professional development is important to us, we also offer a comprehensive package of CPD opportunities, including nationally recognised qualifications that suit all types of career progression. These are widely available, free of charge through the ALI (the Aspirations Learning Institute), at all of the Aspirations Academy schools. In addition, Budmouth has its very own Wellbeing Charter to ensure the well-being of our staff is at the heart of everything we do.

Budmouth Academy Weymouth is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. These posts are subject to an enhanced DBS check. We value the diversity of our workforce and welcome applications from all sections of the community.
