Teacher of Humanities

Belper School and Sixth Form Centre are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and dedicated teacher who is able to share in the teaching of Geography or History up to GCSE with the potential opportunity to teach A level in their specialist subject. The ability to teach across all key stages will be essential for the successful candidate. The successful candidate will be well-organised, conscientious and dynamic. Personal initiative is a quality we also value and respect; support will be given to any ideas, projects or initiatives you would wish to develop. 

The ability to teach a second subject at A level such as Economics, Sociology or Psychology would be an advantage although it is not essential. 

The Humanities Faculty has a record of examination success and dynamic, progressive teaching. We support an all-ability philosophy and the Humanities subjects are consistently amongst the most popular option choices for students at both GCSE and ‘A’ level.

Belper School is committed to providing a high quality educational experience which develops in students the aspiration, knowledge, skills and understanding they require to create happy and successful futures for themselves. We summarise this vision in the phrase “Create your future. Be who you are and become who you aspire to be.”

Our ethos is built on respect, inclusivity and responsibility, nurturing students to be individuals within a family approach. Central to this ethos is a focus on relationships which demonstrate mutual respect and equality.

This position would be suitable for an experienced teacher or an NQT/Early Career Teacher for whom there would be ample opportunity to develop professional skills within our highly supportive Induction, CPD and/or NQT/ Early Career Framework Teacher programmes.

If teaching in this sort of environment appeals to you, please read the supporting documents for the post and follow the instructions on how to apply. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Belper School and Sixth Form Centre is committed to safeguarding and protecting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. All successful candidates will be required to undertake pre-employment checks including a criminal record check via the DBS before they can be appointed. The possession of a criminal record will not necessarily prevent an applicant from obtaining this post, as all cases are judged individually according to the nature of the role and information provided.
