Job Introduction
We are looking for an ambitious and enthusiastic teacher who has high expectations and continuously strives for the best outcomes. We are offering an exciting opportunity to join The Hamble School during a period of rapid improvement and change. Our vision ‘We Care, We Aim High, We Learn and Achieve Together’ encapsulates the work we do every day. Our intake numbers are increasing – we currently have 1150 students and are looking to expand our staffing further.
The successful candidate will join an established and successful group of teachers and support staff, who deliver an engaging and aspirational curriculum to our students. Our dedicated team work collaboratively together to drive up standards of achievement. Our department is very well-resourced and has an HLTA, dedicated to small group intervention and one-to-one tutoring of our disadvantaged and more vulnerable students.
As a Teacher of English you will have a good subject knowledge and will be expected to plan and deliver high quality and engaging lessons that stretch and challenge students, allowing them to make excellent progress. You will be responsible for the assessment and monitoring of student progress and will have high expectations of the behaviour and conduct of students at our school. This role would suit both experienced teachers and ECTs.
In return, we can offer you:
- a positive and optimistic working environment focused on staff well-being, student welfare, progress and high standards of achievement and behaviour;
- Strong internal (Middle Leader/ELT or ECT programmes are available) and external training development opportunities (we are part of PiXL, have strong ties with local school consortia and we support staff to complete NPQs);
- personal career development to assist you in the fulfilment of your ambitions;
- a well-equipped campus with excellent gym and swimming facilities run by Everyone Active which staff can take advantage of for free. Access to leisure and sports classes at heavily discounted membership rates and preferential rates for family members;
- the opportunity to apply for discounted childcare placements with Hamble Early Years Centre which is based directly next to the school;
- free on-site parking and good local public transport links to the school (bus/ rail).
We welcome visits to the school to see us in action and invite you to come and have an informal chat and meet the Headteacher.
