Teacher of Media Studies (Maternity Cover)

The Quest Academy is looking for a skilled and passionate Teacher of Media Studies to join our successful Creative Arts Faculty.

The Quest Creative Arts team is very strong and delivers consistently high standards - at both GCSE,  A-Level and in level 2 & 3 vocational courses. The Faculty is well established and an area of excellent practice - it is a fantastic place to accelerate the development of your own teaching skills, and share ideas on what makes outstanding learning. The position becomes available as a result of the maternity leave of an existing teacher.

What does the role involve?

The main aim of this role is to deliver exceptional teaching and learning for the fantastic students of our great school. In Media Studies, we teach students from Year 10 to Year 13. You will be required to actively engage in up-to-date teaching pedagogy and contribute to the continual improvement and refinement of teaching. To do this, you will benefit from 50% additional non-contact time above your standard PPA time specifically to facilitate engagement with improving teaching pedagogy (as is the case for all our teachers).

You will also join one of our 3 Houses as a Form Tutor and through this vital role help students settle for the day and develop the learning attributes required to engage in active learning. 

Who are we looking for?

We are looking for someone who is passionate about teaching Media Studies and is able to share this enthusiasm with their students so they develop a real thirst for knowledge. You will need to be a teacher who is capable of building strong relationships with students and families to help maximise this enthusiasm and thirst for learning.

The job description and person specification shown in the application pack will give you a good indication of who we are looking for, including the skills and experience that would make for our ideal candidate.
