What skills and experience we're looking for
Thank you for taking the time to consider applying to join our team at St Joseph’s. Our school values are summed up in our mission statement. We want all of our students to live life to the full. This mission is underpinned by our FLAME character values of Faith, Learning, Attitude, Mutual Respect and Enrichment. Each member of our school community lives out these values making St Joseph’s a truly special community in which to work.
Graded ‘Good’ in 2022 by Ofsted and Outstanding in 2019 by the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle, St Joseph’s is an 11 – 18 academy which serves the communities of South Tyneside and East Gateshead. The majority of our pupils come from Hebburn and Jarrow with some travelling from much further afield.
St Joseph’s Catholic Academy is part of Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust which is one of four Trusts in the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle. The Trust includes five Secondary and twenty-five Primary Schools across South Tyneside, Sunderland and East Durham, which offers the opportunity to work collaboratively. Within the school and wider trust there are significant opportunities for CPD and collaborative work across a number of schools.
The Role
Working within a dedicated and experienced team, this is an opportunity for an experienced teacher to build upon past experience and skill to further develop a love of Maths within our students, within a supportive department.
There is also a pastoral element to this role, supporting student wellbeing and development, working as a form tutor to overseeing tutor time learning activities and deliver the PSHE curriculum.
If you are able to offer any additional subjects, please specify these in your application. The ability to teach KS3 Science would be an advantage to your application.
This is a fixed-term contract to cover a maternity leave and additional growth within the department due to increasing student numbers.
In joining us at St Joseph’s you will have the opportunity to develop as part of a passionate and forward-thinking school community, and supportive team of colleagues, and will have the benefit of working in our modern school environment. The majority of the building dates from 2010 with some of the original 1950s building being totally refurbished at this point. The school has a proud history and supportive governing body. Visits to the school to find out more about our vision and values are encouraged.
