Inspire, transform, teach! One of my clients are currently looking to appoint a dedicated and inspiring Teacher of Geography.
At this school you will join a dedicated team of teachers and staff supporting our vibrant students. If you are looking for an opportunity to grow, inspire and develop, this may be the role for you.
About Us
They are always on the lookout for inspirational and influential staff. Most of all, we are on the lookout for potential colleagues who like our students and want to help them succeed. In order to help our staff, have the best possible experience and achieve a proper work- life balance, we have put into place a range of measures to benefit both our teaching and students’ services colleagues.
These include:
Outstanding professional
Excellent promotion opportunities
A constant dialogue about workload and how to manage it most effectively. We have regular workload audits, and frequent campaigns to tackle unnecessary work and identify quick wins
Rapid and effective support with any student behavioural issues arising
A high-quality staff induction programme
Marking protocols devised by departments themselves
Manageable and flexible lesson planning expectations
Clear communications and manageable deadlines. We only ask staff to do what is necessary and avoid complication and confusion. It is an exceptionally well-run school
Learning walks rather than formal lesson observations. These are not graded
Nursery on site
Flexible and part time working encouraged whenever possible
Additional time for leadership responsibilities
Focus on effective outcomes rather than time spent
High levels of administrative support for all teachers
Ongoing celebration of staff excellence
We place high emphasis on staff wellbeing at our Academy. This helps colleagues to be happier and more effective in their work. Staff are regularly consulted about their wellbeing and the outcomes of these consultations have a direct and rapid impact upon the Academy’s approach to supporting staff wellbeing.
We understand that while it is incredibly rewarding, teaching is also a physically and emotionally wearing job. We want teachers to be as fit and fresh as possible and to know that the school as a community really cares about how they are. We have tried to put these principles into practice with several initiatives which we think give teachers one of the best wellbeing packages to be found anywhere. These include:
A meeting free week every half term
An extra week of holiday with a two-week half term in the Autumn
A late start or early finish for every teacher on one day each week
A staff mindfulness programme led by trained colleagues and supported by a free mindfulness app
Subsidised gym membership
Staff fitness and exercise classes
Guest speakers on wellbeing
Regular special events such as comedy nights
The ‘Perkbox’ package of financial benefits
Staff discounts at shops and restaurants in the local area
Access to the staff counselling service
Our staff are regularly consulted on the wellbeing services the school provides and we always try to respond to staff suggestions. In this way, staff feel empowered and get more of the services they really want.
