Person Specification

Your teaching background is not important; what is important is that you have high expectations, love a challenge, and have a determination to make a difference to the lives of our superb students. You will also need to be highly resilient to deal with a wide variety of young people, some of whom display challenging behaviour.

We welcome applicants from all teaching backgrounds to join our Outstanding team; both NQTs and more experienced colleagues are welcome to apply for this post. NQTs will benefit from the close support of a small school environment, whilst more experienced colleagues could be considered for a Teaching and Learning Responsibility post.

We are looking for someone with a love for numeracy who is capable of teaching Mathematics from Year 7 to Year 13. Our students complete GCSEs, Functional Skills and Entry Level Qualifications.
