Jim Collins

Thank you for your interest in The Dukeries Academy (TDA) and Academy Transformation Trust (ATT).  Part of our Vision at TDA is to develop ‘Our People’.  Being recognised as an exceptional place to work is important to us as we aspire to attract, retain, and develop the very best leaders and staff.  

Our Mission at The Dukeries Academy is to transform lives by inspiring excellence and maximising opportunities for all. As a rapidly improving Academy, at the heart of the Ollerton community, we support every student to achieve the qualifications they need to progress confidently to the next stage of learning, training, or employment. This is not all we do.  To complement their qualifications, we also develop the skills and character traits, which will allow our students to become positive change makers in their own and other people’s lives.

At the Dukeries Academy, we live our values. We aspire to act with integrity, are ambitious in our purpose and are resilient in our pursuit of excellence.  We are a Disability Confident Employer, at ATT we are passionate about Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and welcome all applications.

Our team of talented staff are friendly and professional, fully committed to the educational, pastoral, and well-being needs of our students. We are looking to appoint a passionate Faculty Leader to join our Science Faculty. This is an exciting opportunity for a committed and motivated professional to inspire and develop Science provision within the Academy and ensure that our students and staff excel. To succeed, you will be a Science specialist, have the credibility to lead teaching and learning across Key Stages 3 and 4 and have the vision, energy and proven track record to ensure that our students are inspired by Science, engage in learning and are eager to succeed.

You will join an experienced team who are passionate about innovative teaching with a focus on continual improvement. You will have the opportunity to teach at GCSE level and to join a team of outstanding practitioners who share a passion for excellence.

In return, you can expect fantastic Professional Development opportunities through our ITT Institute, a comprehensive employee benefits package including shopping discounts, cycle-to-work and gym schemes, cinema tickets and an employee assistance programme. 

As a valued leader, you will use your sphere of influence to play an important part in taking TDA from Good to Great, and we can promise it will be an exciting and rewarding journey.
