Permanent, term time only, 35 hours per week

The Governors of H3 Federation are looking to appoint an outstanding Active Learning Lead to coordinate and deliver this vital curriculum area at Heath School. 

This is an excellent career opportunity for an experienced education professional to lead an area of the curriculum, and to work with young people in a supportive and well organised small school setting. The role will involve planning and delivering our active learning programme throughout the week. 

The successful candidate will have a strong understanding of the role that excellent active learning can play in supporting personal development for young people. You will be determined to support all students, including those who are disadvantaged and those with additional educational needs. You will be committed to developing students' confidence, skills and knowledge through Active Learning, so that they believe they can be successful in their own lives.

Heath School is a Pupil Referral Unit for children aged 11-16 in Camden who join us for a period of enhanced support and intervention in preparation for their return to mainstream school. In June 2024, Ofsted rated the school as ‘Good’ overall, with ‘Outstanding’ grades for behaviour and attitudes, leadership and management and personal development. Staff who work here receive “Excellent regular training” and join colleagues who “enjoy their development and training and report leaders are considerate of their well-being”. All staff at Heath enjoy the opportunity to work flexibly from home once every three weeks.  

Students at Heath are supported in their behaviour development by an excellent team of teachers, leaders and specialist support staff. We have high expectations. Our clear behaviour policy and strong, student-centred approach to individual needs means that children often make exceptional progress. 

H3 Federation is a group of three Camden Schools which work together to ensure that ‘Every Student Can Learn and Grow’. The successful candidate will benefit from the opportunity to develop their careers within a Federation committed to professional development and progression opportunities. The postholder will be a member of the wider support staff team, with the opportunity to play a wider role in the life of the school.  

If you share our passion for ensuring high standards for all, and have the ambition to help transform the lives of the young people in our school, we would very much like to hear from you.
