Job overview
The school is looking to appoint a committed, enthusiastic individual as a teacher of Humanities. This vacancy has arisen to create capacity within the Senior Leadership Team that has two History Teachers and a Geography teacher, and also to accommodate increased numbers of students taking History and Geography. We are also seeking greater specialism within our RE department. All students now study for GCSE RE (either full course or short course) as it is a core subject for us as a Church of England High School.
All three departments are very successful and have seen an upward trend in outcomes for students. The balance of teaching in this role between the three humanities subjects can be altered dependent upon the skills of the appointed candidate. This is to ensure that the school can appoint the best candidate who shares the values and aspirations that will make them a part of the Balshaw’s family, able to get the very best outcomes for the students in their care.
We are looking to recruit the best teacher possible to this role whether they are an NQT or an experienced teacher looking for the opportunity to work in an outstanding department in an outstanding school.
The closing date is midnight on Sunday 3rd February.
