Discover what we can offer you
Would you like to
work nine days but be paid for ten? What
really sets The Highcrest Academy apart is our staff: their passion drives our
progress and transforms the way we think and work and in return, we are
committed to their well-being and mental health. We understand the pressures that working in education
can place on individuals and are always looking for ways to improve working
conditions and offer our staff incentives that are not always available in
education.
From September
2024, we will be implementing a 9-day working fortnight for all staff. The
premise is simple, you will work nine days but be paid for ten, using the tenth
day to ‘reset’, and thus giving you the opportunity to manage your work-life
balance more effectively. You will also
enjoy a Wellness Day to relax and unwind every year in addition to school
holidays.
Furthermore, we offer significant investment in your
professional development and the possibility of onsite accommodation if you
need to relocate. You can also expect facilities that are second to none,
including an excellent canteen, gym and coffee shop, but above all, you will
relish the satisfaction of transforming futures and helping our students
overcome obstacles to experience life to the full.
Take your career to the next level
As the only all
ability academy in Buckinghamshire, we do whatever it takes to tackle
disadvantage and provide an outstanding education to everyone. Our innovative
curriculum is as diverse as our student community and is purpose-designed to
release the potential of academic high-flyers and those with SEN alike. You can join us as you take your career to
the next level.
Explore the opportunity
We are seeking an enthusiastic teacher to join our
successful Science department to teach Chemistry to KS4, and
potentially KS5. You will join a leading department in a heavily
over-subscribed academy. The Science department is staffed with a
mixture of experienced teachers, ECTs and two technicians, all with a
commitment to continuous school improvement. We have a suite of
dedicated Science laboratories, all with newly installed up to date technology,
plus a recently refurbished lab and Sixth Form facilities.
You will be keen to promote the Science department and
improve upon the opportunities available to our students. We want an individual
to enhance the experience of our pupils both in and out of the classroom,
someone who is innovative in their specialism and truly wants to inspire the
budding Highcrest future scientists. The ability to teach a second
Science could be an advantage.
