The Governors of Holy Trinity Church of England Secondary School wish to appoint a dynamic, forward thinking candidate to teach History, across Key Stage 3 and 4 and Law at KS5. This post presents a good opportunity for either a newly qualified or more experienced practitioner to join the History Department and the wider Humanities and Languages Area. History is a popular subject at KS4. Law is a very popular subject at A Level and is looking to expand with the launching of BTEC in September 2020. 

We offer:

• A starting salary in line with the school’s policies on Pay and Appraisal; a mentoring programme for NQTs; a comprehensive induction, and a good programme of CPL

• Engagement of all teaching staff in the TEEP programme to enhance our teaching and learning in the classroom

• Professional learning delivered for all stages of career development and supported through the LA and Universities

• A supportive, collegiate culture with open minds where your enthusiasm, commitment and passion for making a difference to the lives of our students, will be recognised

• An easy commute via public transport from Brighton, and from other parts of East and West Sussex and from Surrey. Many staff operate car share schemes and we have on-site parking.

Applicants will need to demonstrate their commitment to the teaching of both subjects at all Key Stages. Those expecting to be paid at the upper end of the given pay range need to evidence how that is merited in their application.  

Visits to the school are welcome and can be arranged via HR. An information pack is available on request.

We are seeking candidates who will commit to upholding our values and ethos as a faith school; however, applicants do not need to be a practising Christian.
