Teacher of Humanities

We are looking to appoint an inspirational and enthusiastic teacher of Humanities to join our school. Ideally, the candidate will be able to teach across the three disciplines, but this is not essential and we welcome applications from teachers of Religious Education, History or Geography. These are three strong departments in our school, with excellent student uptake at GCSE and A-Level courses and consistently high academic results. The position is suitable for either an ECT or an experienced teacher who has a passion for the teaching of Humanities subjects.

The person we are seeking will: 

• Be passionate about the teaching of Humanities subjects, and be able to bring energy, enthusiasm and new ideas.
• Be an innovative and inspiring classroom teacher.
• Be able to work collaboratively in a large and diverse team. 
• Have a desire to play a significant role in the further development of the Humanities curriculum across these three discrete departments.

Little Heath School is a highly successful comprehensive school (1658 on roll, including 366 in the Sixth Form) situated in a pleasant semi-rural setting to the west of Reading, with good access to road and rail links. The school has recently benefited from a significant and transformational building project, opening a new £15 million main block in spring 2021.

As a school, we pride ourselves on our Continuing Professional Development Programme, which supports teachers to continually improve their practice in innovative ways, collaborating with other members of staff. 

This role has been identified as public facing in accordance with Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016, and therefore the ability to converse at ease with pupils/members of the public and provide advice/instruction in accurate spoken English is essential for the post.

Closing date: Wednesday 22 May 2024

We reserve the right to interview before this date if a suitable shortlist is obtained, so early application is encouraged.
