Teacher of English with Head of House

The Northworthy Trust are inviting applications for the post of Teacher of English with Head of House.  

Merrill Academy is an extremely rewarding school to work in.  This vacancy provides an opportunity for the right candidate to join a highly motivated team of English teachers who are committed to driving this key curriculum area forward.  We are looking for a new department member who will support our ambitious plans for the future.  

As an Academy, we are focused on supporting and developing our students, to become well rounded citizens who have developed a love of learning and an enquiring mind.  We believe all our learners should have the opportunity to reach and even exceed their potential, whether that be going on to Further Education or gaining meaningful, rewarding employment.  Our intention is to ensure all learners make excellent progress within a learning experience and environment which supports them.  

In addition to the teaching role, this post has a pastoral responsibility as a Head of House.  This additional responsibility is currently paid as a TLR3 allowance of £2,667 per annum, but there is scope for this to increase as this role evolves.  Time capacity will be included into the timetable of the postholder to enable them to carry out the duties of this additional responsibility.  

All staff enjoy the benefits of CPD. The post holder will enjoy working in a caring and supportive environment at Merrill Academy.
