English Teacher 2iC job summary
It is an exciting time at Becket Keys Church of England School (Outstanding, 2014). We are working hard to build upon the exam successes of our founding cohorts, whilst also establishing our 6th Form into its fifth year.
The English department is well established and successful. With a new Head of Department starting in September, we want to further strengthen our team by appointing a new 2iC at the same time, to provide the opportunity for collaborative and supportive department and curriculum development. This 2iC post is a vital appointment in terms of fulfilling our vision and ambition for our inclusive school to secure and enhance positive life chances for all our students. As such, we are determined to see every student achieve well in this crucial subject, with high numbers going on to take it for A level and beyond at university. Therefore, we want to recruit a highly capable, dedicated and ambitious professional who will assist the new Head of Department in taking a lead at Key Stage 5 and driving forward our ambitions for this ‘gold plated’ facilitating subject!
We are looking to appoint an ambitious individual capable of progressing in the long term to head of department, assistant headteacher and beyond. Key attributes include a demonstrable unstoppable passion for the subject: a wide knowledge of literature, exemplary oracy and grammar and a track record of improving students’ writing. The successful candidate will be able to model outstanding teaching in the classroom to develop the practice of all staff. S/he will work alongside our expert Trust (The Russell Education Trust) who also provide training, advice and support for all. A strong academic grounding will be essential for this role.
The successful candidate will need to have the skills and experience to work with the new Head of Department, taking the lead on particular areas and providing the support and challenge that any good leader needs. It is a particularly rewarding role in this respect as the 2iC will have a strong influence over the department, but the ultimate responsibility remains with the Head of Department. It may suit someone ambitious who is early in their career and keen to start taking early steps in leadership, or a more experienced colleague – perhaps one returning from a career break, but with plenty to offer to the team. Or perhaps you are a teacher who particularly wants to work in our distinctive Church School ethos. Whatever your situation, we want to hear from you! We offer a warm and supportive staffroom culture and students who are committed to their learning and proud of their school.
Commitment to safeguarding
Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful applicant will need a full DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check, which can be applied for once a job offer is made.
