Job overview
Permanent Regional Teacher of English with Temporary Second in Department Responsibility at Outwood Grange Academy
Suitable for experienced teachers looking for a first promotion, or a current leader wishing to broaden experience in a large and successful department.
A very exciting opportunity has arisen, due to the secondment of the current postholder, for a suitable candidate to take on the role of Second in English at Outwood Grange Academy. This role will involve taking responsibility for a curriculum area and the successful candidate will also be expected to work closely with and, at times, deputise for the head of department, taking on a range of leadership duties. The postholder would be required to make a substantial contribution to year 11 teaching, and there may be the opportunity for some A-Level teaching, although experience of A-Level teaching is not essential.
Candidates will have a proven track record of teaching and results in GCSE English Language. This role is suitable for an internal candidate to undertake as a secondment from their current academy and in this case candidates are asked to obtain permission for a secondment from their principal prior to application.
For applicants outside of Outwood Grange Academies Trust, we can offer a permanent Regional Teacher of English with the temporary Second in English responsibility position until the return of the postholder. Please contact us to discuss if you are interested.
If you have any questions about this role, please contact Sue Thornton, Associate Director of English (s.thornton@outwood.com)
