The Role:  Bringing ‘Judaism to life’ at the school by offering all learners an outstanding education in a stimulating informal environment. The successful applicant must have a strong record of attainment in both Jewish and secular learning, have excellent communication skills and be able to inspire, challenge and support our pupils.  Experience in a similar role would be an advantage. This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and passionate educator to join a warm and supportive team.

 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 are 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.
