What skills and experience we're looking for
The successful candidate will combine subject expertise with a passion for creating excellent learning experiences. They should have the commitment, skills and character to lead a successful department and influence colleagues at all levels. This role offers an established and successful Head of Department a stepping stone into senior leadership (and as such, we are unable to offer this role to an ECT).
What the school offers its staff
Our staff routinely go the extra mile for our students. Having quality time to switch off from work at the end of a day/working week/term and recharge in order to be in the best position to support our students the next time they are in school is very important. This is modelled by the SLT and Trustees to the entire school and our reasoning is explained to and respected by parents/carers. This includes there being no expectation(and in fact it is to be avoided with the need to report safeguarding concerns being the only exception)that emails should be sent, read or responded to between 18:00 and 07:00 on weekdays and not at all on weekends or during holidays.
In our busy world, where the immediacy of the digital age can lead to an 'always on' position, rest does not always come easily. We often have to teach ourselves to rest in body, mind, and spirit. Learning to rest keeps us healthy and keeps fatigue out of our lives and is part of our commitment to our Christian learning community to follow God's desire for us to rest (Mark 6:31; Psalm 127:1-2)
Some examples of what we offer and our staff value at Bishop Ramsey include:
- an Occasional Day, attached to a weekend, in the lead up to Christmas
- the annual Ramsey Day which extends one of the holiday breaks
- time gained through running our Friday afternoon Professional Learning sessions aggregate into an extended break at October half-term in comparison with most schools
- a whole school Moderation Day in late Spring to reduce impact on staff of cover work needing to be prepared
- cycle to work scheme
- Employee Assistance Provider (CiC),an independent, confidential advice service, providing practical advice or emotional support. This service can support staff with personal issues ranging from debt advice to face to face counselling and is paid for by the school, so is free to staff and their dependants
- all new staff and anyone ‘new to role’ are allocated a ‘buddy'
- Our Wednesday Staff Breakfast Club is a popular time for staff to enjoy a heavily subsidised breakfast (freshly cooked full English or continental options) in The Hub with colleagues before school starts
