Job overview

We are seeking to appoint a full time Teacher of Mathematics.  

The successful candidate will be required to teach Maths up to KS4.   

First and foremost, we require a teacher who can build excellent relationships with students. We are also seeking to appoint somebody with a good sense of humour and who enjoys working in a team. These are hugely important qualities in terms of collaborative working, but also in getting the very best out of our students.  

A strong commitment to the extra-curricular life of the school is essential.  

Subject knowledge is important, as is an up-to-date knowledge of the latest developments in Mathematics. The successful candidate will thoroughly enjoy teaching their subject and understand the importance of Mathematics in contributing to our students’ wider development.  In return, we offer an outstanding learning environment, working with students who are typically above national average attainment at start point in Year 7. 

Our Mathematics department is among the strongest in Kirklees both in terms of attainment at the end of Key Stage 4, but also in terms of the progress that students make. The staff body is very experienced and we have a highly committed team who always ‘go the extra mile’ for the school and community. All staff are expected to contribute to the development of new resources and to work collaboratively with others. We also offer excellent professional development opportunities and a wide range of facilities. This will prepare the successful candidate for further leadership as well as developing subject knowledge and pedagogy.  

Standards of behaviour are very good indeed. We achieve this because of a very strong team work ethic in pastoral management, but also we do not tolerate poor choices without proportionate consequences. As a new member of staff, you will find the school to be an extremely welcoming environment to teach in.   

This is a superb opportunity to come and join a school where you will succeed and see our students make great progress over their time with us. 

Please note the deadline to apply is 12.00pm on Tuesday 22nd May 2018. 

Interviews will be held on Thursday 24th May 2018.

Salendine Nook High School is a mixed, comprehensive, non-denominational secondary 11-16 school situated in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.

Attainment in entry is higher than average in all year groups. Over half of the students on roll come to us with high prior attainment based upon Key Stage 2 SATs. Our students generally arrive with high levels of literacy and numeracy. This means that expectations are high in terms of expected progress over the five years of secondary education. The parent body is also generally very supportive. We are a larger than average secondary school providing approximately 1350 places for students. The school is oversubscribed in all year groups.

The school converted to academy status in February 2012. It is sponsored by a single-academy trust called the Salendine Nook Academy Trust.
