What skills and experience we're looking for

You will be an inspirational, innovative and charismatic teacher looking to join a happy, motivated and experienced team of Maths specialists. Maths is a successful department, constantly achieving a positive progress score, and has a commitment to continuous school improvement.

Your love for the subject will be infectious to our students and you will continue to develop the strong hold our school community has with Maths. You will have autonomy in your teaching and be provided with an outstanding CPD package for personal development. You will be an aspiring middle leader and either now, or with experience, will become an outstanding practitioner.

As a committed and innovative teacher, you can look forward to teaching KS3 and KS4, with opportunities in KS5 for the right candidate to teach A Level Maths and Further Maths.

What the school offers its staff

Highcrest offers both an excellent induction and support programme for ECTs and an innovative and extensive CPD package for more experienced teachers. This provision of training has been praised as outstanding by an external assessor and highlighted in the local press. For ECTs, we provide weekly CPD meetings with experienced members of staff, time-tabled and protected Mentor Meetings on a weekly basis, subject knowledge time with departments and an extensive personalised CPD plan.
