Curriculum Leader: Health and Social Care and Child Development

 The Governing Body of Broadgreen International School is seeking to appoint a highly motivated and inspirational teacher to take responsibility for the leadership of Health & Social Care and Child Development with effect from April 2017 or September 2017.   

Health & Social Care and Child Development are important parts of our vocational offer to our students. Both subjects provide very successful option choices at KS4 and Health and Social Care is outstanding at KS5.   

The ability to teach both subjects is obviously highly desirable. However, we would also welcome applications from specialists in related areas who may wish to retrain. 

We currently offer GCSE Health & Social Care and Child Development and Level 3 OCR Health & Social Care.    This is an opportunity for a talented individual to influence positive learning outcomes for our students and to further develop the educational opportunities for which the school holds a high reputation.    

We are seeking to appoint:   

· An effective leader with a clear vision to develop this area within our school. 

· An enthusiastic and experienced teacher, with effective strategies to take the subjects and the students to the highest levels of achievement. 

· An experienced, dynamic and creative classroom practitioner who can engage learners. · An inspirational teacher with a commitment to raising achievement for all and a proven track record of raising standards. 

· An enthusiast who will promote this area and who can make it relevant and engaging for our young people. 

· A willingness to lead and contribute to a range of extra-curricular provision.   

Broadgreen International School is a successful and over-subscribed secondary school of 1150 students and an expanding sixth form.
