Full Time, fixed-term until 31 August 2022.

Tes is currently supporting a friendly and supportive all-boys SEMH academy, based in Leeds. The school is looking to add a Teacher of Humanities to its progressive and supportive Humanities Department ideally starting in  September 2021.

The role will include teaching and coordinating the delivery of Humanities at KS3 and GCSE across year groups 7 to 11. You will support the Head of Humanities to enhance provision and will get the chance to get involved with exciting project work throughout the year. Project work will include revising schemes of work and ensuring the curriculum is engaging to all learners alongside projects that support student attainment, well-being and engagement within the wider school. You’ll also lead by example, supporting learners to achieve to the best of their ability and you’ll enjoy that great feeling when your learners achieve grades beyond their dreams.

“The academy is part of a large successful multi-academy trust, is a special school in Chobham, Surrey, for boys aged 9 to 16 years who have social, emotional and mental health difficulties. We can admit up to 70 students which means that class sizes are small and we work very closely with our students to ensure they get the most out of each day with us. We provide a highly effective and individual package of education, care and pastoral support to young people who may have had only negative experiences of school. A safe, caring environment supported by high levels of staffing ensures each pupil has the opportunity to make progress and achieve their full potential.

The successful candidate will have experience teaching Humanities (Geography, History and English ideally), QTS and some knowledge of specific learning difficulties and a variety of behaviour management strategies to support children would be an advantage.”

• A super supportive and highly visible SLT team and Headteacher;

• on-going CPD with programmes of study such as NPQML and MA in Educational Leadership

• progression support throughout the school and wider group

• support package for NQT’s/RQT’s including CPD and NQT mentorship;
