Teacher of Sociology & Humanities - Maternity Cover

This is a very exciting time to join The Calder Learning Trust having recently become part of the Pennine Alliance Learning Trust.

We are seeking to appoint a Teacher of Sociology and Humanities, starting as soon as possible or September starts will be considered.

The Calder Learning Trust is a wonderful place to work, set in the fabulous countryside of the Calder Valley, but within commutable distance of Leeds and Manchester. We have a diverse student population who are friendly, creative and articulate. We strive to be a Trust that truly provides opportunities for 'Everybody, Everyday'.

This is a fantastic opportunity to drive developments in teaching and learning and work with the team to raise attainment in Sociology and Humanities across different Key Stages. The role will continue our work to improve both provision and outcomes across the Sociology and Humanities faculties, whilst there will also be opportunities for the successful candidate to work cross phase, liaising closely with our Primary lead to ensure effective academic transition.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a teacher starting their career in Sociology and Humanities or someone seeking to move into middle leadership or gain more experience of leadership in a different setting.

Staff at the Trust benefit from a culture which pays real attention to staff wellbeing and workload and provides many opportunities for continuous professional development through coaching, drawing on evidenced based research to make improvement to teaching, learning and the curriculum.

We welcome applications from candidates of all backgrounds and life experiences and are willing to consider requests for part-time working and other flexible working arrangements. We would very much encourage candidates to arrange a visit to see the school for themselves.

The Calder Learning Trust employs rolling recruitment methodologies, with shortlisting and interviews for some roles taking place as and when applications are received.

This may mean that some roles are recruited before the closing date, and  therefore advise that applications are made without undue delay.
