Teacher of KS3 Humanities

About the role

The Sele School is seeking to appoint an outstanding educator in KS3 Humanities to join a high achieving, successful and forward-looking team of staff.  The successful candidate will be keen to work alongside an established team determined to create an excellent learning experience for all of our students.  The successful candidate would be responsible for the delivery of the KS3 curriculum in History, Geography and Religious Education.  Our vision is to ensure all learners develop the skills needed to achieve success in their examinations as well as developing a lifelong interest in Humanities subjects.  We aim to develop each student’s ability to work independently and become critical thinkers.  You would inspire and motivate young people to learn about both past and current events and understand how these help them to fit into the current world in which they live. We endeavour to ensure that all students benefit from enrichment opportunities and provide access to a wide range of trips and visits.  We would welcome any contribution you could make to these activities at The Sele School.  We believe in the statement ‘Education about the world, for life in the world beyond school.’

The position would suit either an ECT seeking a first appointment within a forward-thinking school or a more experienced teacher wishing to develop their experience and curriculum management skills. 

What can we offer you?

• The opportunity to work with excellent students whose behaviour is exemplary.
• The chance to work in a positive, welcoming and forward-thinking community where evidence-based methods are seamlessly integrated into teaching and learning.
• A dedicated staff who are enthusiastic and who want the best for our students.
