Job Title: Teacher

Grade/Scale: MPS / UPS Plus SEN 1
Contract: 32.5 hours per week
We are looking to recruit an experienced and inspiring teacher to join our academy to teach maths to pupils in KS3 and KS4. The staffing teams are small compared to mainstream schools and the post will suit a teacher who is willing to be flexible to meet the needs of the pupils and the academy. We deliver GCSE and Functional Skills to small groups of pupils. This role is to be based at our High Peak site at SK230HD. We welcome applications from candidates who are able to teach engaging and inspiring lessons to challenging and disengaged KS3 and 4 pupils. The ability to teach a second subject would be an advantage and this may be required.
Applicants should have good knowledge and experience of working with disaffected pupils in a school or other alternative setting. An affinity for pupils with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties is an essential quality for this challenging but rewarding opportunity. Applicants should be resilient, have high expectations, and a sense of humour. You must be able to build positive relationships with our pupils and think outside of the box. You will be responsible for contributing to a small staffing team to ensure that the site runs smoothly. A growth mindset and positive ethos are essential characteristics that we are looking for.
An allocated base will be named for payment of mileage and any travel calculation between sites for CPD or for engaging in off -site rewards trips etc. Candidates must have access to a car and car insurance with business use included. You may be expected to transport pupils in your own car.
We ask that you contact the Headteacher before making an application to discuss our academy further and your suitability for this role. We will invite suitable interested candidates to visit the site as part of the application process.
