We are seeking to appoint an inspirational and dedicated teacher to take responsibility for the strategic leadership of PSHE & RSHE, an increasingly important area of the curriculum. Applications are welcome from resourceful, committed individuals, with a track record of outstanding classroom practice and experience of planning and teaching PSHE/RSHE lessons. Some previous leadership experience would be an advantage, but we will also consider applications from colleagues seeking their first leadership role.
PSHE & RSHE are delivered at Alec Hunter through our Learning for Life curriculum, which benefits from dedicated timetabled slots in all years (7-11), encompassing a broad range of topics. Strong communication and organisation skills, along with a commitment to forming positive relationships with young people, are therefore essential qualities for this post. Learning for Life is based in the Humanities curriculum area - a friendly, supportive team with a keen focus on innovative techniques and a desire to improve outcomes for our students.

As a member of the Saffron Academy Trust, we work in close partnership with a small family of schools in north-west Essex, including Saffron Walden County High, one of the highest performing schools in the county. Numerous opportunities for professional development exist through this partnership and our membership of several local networks.
Our school is committed to safeguarding and protecting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. A Disclosure and Barring Service check at enhanced level will be required for this post. If you would like to visit the school prior to making an application, please do not hesitate to contact us to arrange this.

At Alec Hunter Academy, we pride ourselves on the positive relationships we engender between our young people and the adults who work with them on a day-to-day basis. We believe that students learn best when they feel valued and when the expectations of them are high.
We anticipate that our learners will attend school with a positive attitude to learning, that they will embrace challenge where they encounter it and will be enthusiastic, resourceful, adaptable and resilient.
Our partnership with Saffron Walden County High School, one of the highest performing schools in Essex, through the sponsorship of the Saffron Academy Trust, has injected fresh impetus into the school and will undoubtedly have a significant impact as the links develop.
We hope that our young people will leave Alec Hunter with happy memories, having enjoyed a range of experiences that have prepared them for the next phase of their education and for their adult lives.
