About this Role

We are seeking to appoint an excellent and enthusiastic Teacher of Psychology, with the ability to also teach Criminology or Sociology to A Level standard.

 

The successful candidate will be an excellent classroom practitioner with a genuine love for their subject, strong subject knowledge, a calm and kind manner, and consistently high expectations for both academic achievement and student behaviour.

 This is a full or part-time, permanent post, suitable for an experienced teacher or an Early Career Teacher.

 The successful candidate will:

  •  Teach A Level Psychology as their main specialism.
  • Be able to teach either Criminology or Sociology at A Level (or both).
  • Support the delivery of Key Stage 3 Humanities (History, Geography or World Views).
  • At Key Stage 4, the ability to teach Health and Social Care BTEC would be advantageous, though not essential.

 They will work alongside existing Sixth Form colleagues within a growing, vibrant and ambitious post-16 provision as well as alongside colleagues in the main school.

 The role also includes responsibilities as a form tutor, delivering a centrally planned and fully resourced PSHE curriculum. We place great value on the tutor role as a cornerstone of students’ school experience and are therefore looking for someone who is committed to pastoral care and positive relationships with their students.

 This post would suit either an experienced teacher or an Early Career Teacher. For ECTs, we offer a highly supportive induction, high-quality mentoring and a strong programme of professional development through our Early Career Framework and wider CPD provision.

 Belper School and Sixth Form Centre is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All appointments are subject to relevant safeguarding checks, including enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service checks, in line with the most recent guidance in Keeping Children Safe in Education. We are also committed to equality of opportunity in employment and service provision.

 If teaching in this kind of environment appeals to you, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please follow the instructions on how to apply, and do not hesitate to contact the school if you have any questions.
