Job overview
We are looking to appoint an innovative Associate Teacher to supervise lessons and lead learning during any short-term absences of teachers in our pioneering KS3 Opening Minds team from September 2018.
The post holder will be required to demonstrate very good classroom management and ensure that the work set by staff is completed to a high standard. The post will also entail some in-class support during lessons, working with small-groups or creating/producing resources, when the demand for cover lessons is low. The post holder would also be expected to contribute to the extra-curricular life of the school.
This role would be ideal for a good honours graduate considering a career in teaching and/or planning to seek a place on an ITT/PGCE course in the future. Historically a number of Associate Teachers have taken up such positions through our RSA Teaching School Alliance provision (2016 and 2017).
Previous experience of working with young people would be advantageous. Excellent communication skills and an ability to develop a positive rapport with students and teaching staff are essential. The post holder should:
- Be qualified to degree level
- Have excellent interpersonal skills
- Have the confidence to guide and lead young people
- Have evidence of excellent attendance and punctuality
- Have good ICT skills
- Be an excellent role model for students
- Be actively considering teaching as a career
If you believe that you are the right person for this role, then you should apply using the teaching application form which can be found here or on our school website, together with a job description & a person specification. CVs without accompanying completed application forms will not be considered.
Closing date: - Monday 11th June 2018 - 9.00am
