The opportunity

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and inspirational teacher to our strong and successful Languages and Humanities team. History is currently with OCR, we are considering changing exam board and the successful candidate can be involved in shaping that decision. The ability to contribute to another subject within the department, such as Philosophy and Ethics or Ancient History, would be particularly welcome. This post will give the successful applicant the opportunity to work within the team and contribute to the success and growth of the department. Within the Curriculum Area of Languages and Humanities a high number of students continue to university, many of whom choose a related subject; students participate in a range of opportunities available to them whilst at KE6, including trips to Parliament and the Lessons from Auschwitz course. A willingness to plan and attend trips and contribute to enrichment for the department would be an advantage.

The college prides itself on having supportive, reflective, creative, and ambitious staff who work to achieve the best outcomes for students. We treat our staff and students with respect, listen to both and involve all in our continuous improvement. Staff and student feedback are embedded in our systems.

The person

Attitude, values and mind-set are critical features of all our staff. We want staff and leaders who bring their genuine self to everything they do and want to be involved in every aspect of college life. We want a leader whose ambition for those around them is unlimited and support is unconditional.

Collaboration and sharing skills with other subjects within the team and wider college is encouraged. We require a team-orientated individual who can see the benefits of subject interaction and exploring creative opportunities at every level within the college, BfMAT and the wider community.
