What skills and experience we're looking for
Are you passionate about Teaching and Learning and dedicated to making a positive impact on young people's lives?
The team at South Hunsley School and Sixth Form are looking to appoint a Teacher of Politics who will play a pivotal role in providing a high standard of teaching and learning to support students of all backgrounds and abilities.
Starting in November 2024 for a fixed-term period. Part-time hours available, paid on TEAL’s qualified teachers pay scale (points 1 to 9). If you would like to know more about the hours available, please contact Freya Dobson (HR Officer) at 01482 631208 orFreya.dobson@southhunsley.org.uk.
Why choose us?
Here at South Hunsley we passionately believe in the limitless potential of every member of our school community. We want everyone to be happy, confident and successful so we can all achieve more than we think is possible. We can promise support, care, encouragement and respect as well as really enjoyable and rewarding working and learning environment. We are genuinely committed to our students and our staff, and we do everything we can to ensure every child receives the care and guidance they need to thrive.
As a school, we are dedicated to providing a great teacher in every classroom and are committed to high-quality, collective teacher development. This helps us to reduce the replication of effort and helps all teachers to thrive in our setting. We do this by prioritising the continuing development of our staff. This comes in a variety of forms: professional subject-specific development delivered in department time; INSET days as well as through CPD opportunities across The Education Alliance.
Within The Education Alliance Multi Academy Trust, there are lots of opportunities for collaboration and also further opportunities to develop and progress. As a trust, we are here to make great schools and happier, stronger communities so that people have better lives. For too long in many schools, staff have been asked to choose between being seen as good at their job and being a good mum, dad, partner, son, daughter or friend. We are doing everything we can to support our staff to balance the demands of their jobs and those at home.
We have removed the following:
- Performance management objectives and performance-related pay
- Lesson observations and high stakes, toxic accountability
- Onerous marking policies
- Requirements for daily or weekly lesson plans
Above all, we recognise that seeking to remove the number of tasks staff undertake will have little effect on improving work/home balance if this happens within a toxic culture. To support this, we offer training for our leaders to ensure they are able to translate our values into behaviours which are built on the principles of dignity, respect, professionalism and integrity.
What can we offer you?
Ethical leadership, professional trust and autonomy and a caring ethos in which everyone is valued and respected.
A great programme of CPDand opportunities to collaborate with other teaching professionals across TEAL.
Family friendlypolicies and opportunities for flexible working
Well-being supportincluding discounted East Riding gym membership; free annual flu vaccinations; refund of the cost of the annual NHS prescription prepayment certificate; access to a free employee assistance scheme 24/7 with advice on a wide range of practical issues ranging from legal information and consumer issues to specialist counselling.

Membership of theTeachers’ Pension Scheme.
