What skills and experience we're looking for

We are looking for someone with drive and ambition to lead our Humanities team at Hollingworth Academy from September 2023 (or sooner if possible). We require an outstanding and inspirational practitioner, with a specialism in Geography or History, who will lead the faculty to ensure that our pupils make excellent progress across Humanities. As a faculty, we strongly believe in high quality educational research to develop all of our practices and we are looking for someone who would make significant contributions to this.

What the school offers its staff

Here at Hollingworth Academy, we believe that everyone excels everyday. This ethos is built on our core values of RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY and RESILIENCE and these values are at the heart of everything we do. We want considerate and confident young adults who are respected within their community, capable of successfully entering further education, employment and training. We will always have the highest expectations for all of our pupils, as their success is our success. We are extremely proud of our pupils and their achievements. Indeed, visitors frequently comment that they are confident, respectful, thoughtful and articulate young people.

We heavily invest in our staff as we understand that they are our greatest asset. There are many ‘formal‘ CPDL opportunities including NPQs and a variety of leadership pathways. However, at Hollingworth we ensure that our colleagues are continuously developed throughout their career via our bespoke provision. In addition, we actively look to develop leadership skills and ensure that the best leaders stay within our school and trust. This role is excellent preparation for the post holder to secure promotion in the future.

Further details about the role

For outstanding candidates, a recruitment and retention allowance may be negotiated during the interview process, of up to £5,000. If you are an excellent candidate with a wealth of knowledge and experience in school attendance, we would love to hear from you.

Commitment to safeguarding

The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of vulnerable adults, children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The information requested for applicants is considered to be objectively justified to comply with government guidance on safer recruitment in such areas. Appointment to this post will be subject to a Disclosure and Barring check.
