Teacher of Humanities

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.

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.
