Job overview

Could you be Greig City Academy’s next Head of Science? We want a dynamic, top class teacher to lead our large and successful Science Faculty. The successful candidate will need to have experience of departmental or faculty management and a proven track record of delivering excellent public exam results over a period of time. The school’s expectation is that students will make a minimum of four levels of progress and we are looking to appoint the right person to deliver this. In addition, the successful candidate will be expected to lead and develop STEM crosscurricular initiatives within the faculty and to liaise with the school’s STEM Coordinator. Opportunities to join the school’s extended senior leadership programme may be available for suitable candidates. The Science Faculty comprises Biology, Chemistry and Physics; it has a suite of ten modern, large and well equipped purpose built laboratories housing a team of 11 Science teachers and two technicians. Interested candidates are invited to visit the school before making an application.

The school boasts a really positive and supportive relationship between managers and staff and between colleagues, and between staff and pupils. Paul Sutton, our Principal, encourages teachers to have an impact beyond their subject and he is always available and happy to discuss ideas with you as to how this can be achieved. We have an impressive range of extra-curricular activities and all our staff are involved in running at least one. Ours is a caring and well-ordered environment in which all students can enjoy learning, develop enquiring minds and acquire the skills and knowledge they need for a changing world. Every day we see the results of our efforts in students who work responsibly and with consideration for others – they are the best ambassadors for the school.

Your personal development is important to us. You will be able to apply for one of our Learning Awards up to the annual value of £2,400, which could enable you to develop particular talents or skills. This is in addition to the school’s CPD programme. Other benefits include cycle to work and childcare voucher schemes. GCA has a commitment to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and has safer recruitment procedures in place for the selection of staff. It is committed to the principle of equal opportunities; we welcome all applicants and value the diversity they bring.

Please download the application form via the TES website or the school’s website and email your completed application to voxley@greigcityacademy.co.uk.

The closing date for receiving completed application forms is Wednesday 19th April 2017. Please note that previous applicants need not apply. Please note that we reserve the right to close or extend this position depending on application numbers, therefore we would urge candidates to submit an application at their earliest opportunity.
