Job overview

We are seeking to appoint a talented and inspiring Teacher of Humanities to commence employment 1st September 2023. Ideally the successful candidate will be a History specialist; however, all Humanities subjects will be considered as a requirement to teach mixed discipline.

Ladybridge High School is a happy and successful school with a clear mission and agreed beliefs that are shared across the school community. We are focused on achieving strong academic outcomes through a rounded education that prepares our learners for life. A film about our distinctive ethos and approach can be seen via this link. We are committed to our ‘Trivium’ approach to education, which is summarised on our website here.

The wonderfully diverse population of learners, the emphasis on professional learning for staff and the friendly atmosphere make Ladybridge an interesting and enjoyable place to work. We aspire to be an ‘evidence-informed’ school where teachers are encouraged to read, research, collaborate and take calculated risks in the classroom. 

All teaching staff at Ladybridge have a generous allocation of non-contact time: typically 20%, which is double the legal minimum requirement. This ensures that our staff have the time to carry out their role to the highest possible standard, whilst having a genuine work-life balance. 

This post is suitable for ECT's and experienced teachers.

The application process:

Interested colleagues should complete an application form, which can be downloaded from the school’s website http://www.ladybridgehigh.co.uk/latest-vacancies/ and submit, with a letter of application to outline how your experiences to date prepare you for this role.

Deadline for application: Monday 17th April 2023 at 1.00pm

Interviews will be held on: Week commencing Monday 24th April 2023

This is a unique opportunity to transform young people’s lives, and to develop professionally, in a distinctive and rapidly improving school.

Please send completed applications to Miss M Johns, HR and Cover Manager at Ladybridge High School, New York, Bolton BL3 4NG or by email to HR@ladybridgehigh.co.uk 

Ladybridge High School is committed to safer recruitment practice and pre-employment checks will be undertaken before any appointment is confirmed. This post is subject to enhanced clearance from the Disclosure and Barring Service. The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

About Ladybridge High School

Message from the Headteacher

I took up the post of Headteacher at Ladybridge High School in the summer term 2019.  I am proud to lead this diverse, happy and successful school.  Please visit our school website, available here, to learn more about our school.  I would also like to encourage you to watch our promotional film, which is available below.

In all, over 37 different languages are spoken at Ladybridge.  We are extremely proud of our rich diversity and the strength of relationships across the school.  Staff are committed to ‘going the extra mile’, and learners appreciate this. Visitors to the school often remark upon the school’s sense of warmth, of purpose and of pride.

There are significant opportunities for professional learning and development for successful candidates.  We aspire to be an ‘evidence-informed’ school where teachers are encouraged to read, research, collaborate and take calculated risks in the classroom.  Teachers have significantly more non-contact time than the national average to provide time to plan high quality lessons and to ensure an appropriate work-life balance.

We are currently undergoing building refurbishment and a building extension.  The extension will allow us to accommodate more learners to meet the rising demand from families who wish to send their children to Ladybridge.   The refurbishment will enable us to provide first-rate facilities across all subject areas and will add to an already distinctive and impressive school site that includes a farm, leisure centre and swimming pool.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you would like to visit the school prior to submitting an application.
