It couldn’t be a more exciting time to
join Parkside School which joined Wellspring Academy Trust in September 2023
and was recently awarded the title of Multi Academy Trust of the year. As such,
we are at the start of an exciting journey in this new partnership and we are
looking for a like-minded, talented teacher to join us on this journey.
Wellspring Academy Trust is known for its inclusive practice and these values
are matched by Parkside School. ‘We make a difference’ If you have the same
philosophy, this may be the job for you.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a dedicated and enthusiastic
person to join our team at Parkside as a Teacher of Art alongside Design and
Technology. We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, innovative, and
committed teacher with high expectations of students and themselves. The
successful candidate will be capable of inspiring students of all abilities
through their passion for the subject. There is a level of flexibility
regarding which subject areas would be taught in this position as staff teach
across different areas. Teaching would be across both the art and the DT
departments which are across the same faculty area. The exact make up of the
timetable will be matched to the successful candidates’ skills.
You will work as part
of the wider Art & Design faculty in the school, which has proven to be a
strong successful department and you will be well supported by the Head of
Faculty and TLR holders in the faculty. Wellspring
Academy Trust and Parkside School believe in investing in our staff. We have a
strong CPD offer and all new staff will receive a supportive induction programme
and this post may be of interest to an ECT. There are many innovations ready
for September around the curriculum, school day and pastoral structure so this
is a very exciting time to join the school.
If you are driven to
ensure the highest possible standards of teaching and learning, progress and
achievement, then we warmly invite you to apply and join our convivial team.
Our students are
enthusiastic and enjoy interactive lessons from passionate teachers, they
respond well to strong trusting relationships with staff. Having recently
joined Wellspring Academy Trust, Parkside has a renewed focus on student
development, both academically and in personal growth. We are about to embark
in new and innovative strategies in school so this would be an exciting time to
join the team.
We encourage
any applicant to come and visit the school or to book an informal phone
conversation about this role with the Head of Faculty, Gillian Stone. Please feel free to contact her on
Gillian.Stone@parksideschool.net to arrange a suitable time.
If you are
as excited by this challenge as we are and you think this might be the role for
you, please apply by completing an application form, having taken note of the
attachments, by Monday 8th July at 9am.
Interviews
for successfully shortlisted candidates will be undertaken soon after this
date.
