Teacher of Geography

The Roseland Academy is an Ofsted Outstanding and consistently high-performing Academy where we nurture, challenge and inspire every child to reach their potential.

Our ethos is that students achieve their best when they enjoy their learning. We believe every student has a talent and it is our duty to guide and support each individual on their journey towards greatness. Exceptional examination outcomes, self-confidence and outstanding life experiences are gained through our school life and enrichment opportunities and are the hallmarks of a Roseland Academy education.

The school is situated on the beautiful Roseland Peninsula on the south coast of Cornwall. The area offers an outstanding quality of life, with beautiful beaches, countryside and the historic city of Truro all within easy reach.

The Roseland Academy is part of The Roseland Multi-Academy Trust which consists of two further secondary schools and two primary schools. The Trust’s mission is “to provide outstanding education for our communities, where everyone succeeds” and we put our staff at the heart of everything we do to create a team spirit in our highly successful schools. Continuous Professional Development is prioritised supported by a variety of initiatives that develop our teachers to be truly outstanding practitioners.

We are looking for an ambitious Geography teacher who is innovative, creative, and ready to join a highly successful and well-established department.

 Safeguarding Statement:

 The Roseland Academy, part of The Roseland Multi Academy Trust, is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and expects all staff to share this commitment. Everyone who comes into contact with children and their families and carers has a role to play in safeguarding children. In order to fulfil this responsibility effectively, all professionals should make sure their approach is child-centred. This means that they should consider, at all times, what is in the best interests of the child.

 Our Headteachers and Trustees act reasonably in making decisions about the suitability of the prospective employee based on checks and evidence, including Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) checks, barred list checks and prohibition checks, together with references and interview information. The level of DBS certificate required, and whether a check for any prohibition, direction, sanction, or restriction is required, will depend on the role that is being offered and duties involved. As the majority of staff will be engaging in regulated activity, an enhanced DBS certificate which includes barred list information, will be required.

Please note, all shortlisted candidates will undergo online searches as part of the recruitment process.
