The Role: Do you have a passion for making a difference in the lives of young people?  You are dedicated to empowering youth and helping them reach their full potential in Jewish life and learning?  If so, this is an excellent opportunity to join a vibrant and highly successful department as an Informal Jewish Educator. Candidates should be enthusiastic and passionate about Jewish Education as well as the ability to engage and motivate young people. Ideally you will have studied at Seminary/Yeshiva and will be able to teach our Sixth Form students Tenach, Talmud, Machshava and Jewish Knowledge. Joining our team will give you the opportunity to contribute to the Jewish life of the school through the College’s extra-curricular life and educational journeys, as well as a wide range of activities around the College.

The School: Immanuel College is entering a new, exciting era of educational and physical development, which will build on our Jewish modern orthodox, co-educational, independent roots. You will join a school characterised by high academic standards, outstanding pastoral care and a renowned programme of Jewish study.  We enjoy an environment of happy, fulfilled young people who are fully engaged in the life of this friendly school, are aspirational and committed to their studies and their community. We are looking for colleagues who are eager to contribute to their futures and build a bright beacon of Jewish life and learning.

Staff Benefits: Immanuel College is a vibrant, professional, and caring place to work, where every day brings new challenges and opportunities. We are deeply committed to the emotional and professional well-being of all our staff and believe that happy, well-cared for staff make the best team.  We pride ourselves on providing an environment where staff have the freedom to learn and grow.  We provide access to a pension scheme, a supportive CPD system, membership of a healthcare scheme, free lunches, family-friendly policies, and a range of well-being initiatives.

Safeguarding:The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.  Before making an application for any vacancy, you should familiarise yourself with our Child Protection & Safeguarding, Recruitment and Selection and our Equal Opportunities policies.

Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975, 2013 and 2020 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.  The school may carry out online searches on shortlisted applicants and all applicants will be required to provide details of their online profile, including social-media accounts, as part of their application.

The safeguarding responsibilities of the post are outlined in the job description.
