ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking an ambitious, inspirational, and dedicated Teacher of Social Sciences to join Trinity Academy. This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic teacher with A Level Psychology and/or Sociology teaching experience to deliver high-quality lessons, inspire academic excellence, and support students in achieving their full potential within a positive, inclusive, and aspirational school environment.

In this role, you will be responsible for planning and delivering engaging and effective Social Science lessons, primarily in Psychology and/or Sociology, across Key Stages 4 and 5. You will ensure high standards of teaching, learning, and assessment, creating stimulating learning experiences that promote curiosity, critical thinking, and a deeper understanding of the social world.

You will contribute to curriculum planning and the development of high-quality teaching resources, ensuring lessons meet the needs of all learners and support strong academic outcomes. A key aspect of the role will be the successful delivery of A Level programmes, helping students to develop subject knowledge, independent learning skills, and confidence in preparation for higher education and future careers.

You will monitor student progress, assess learning effectively, and use performance data to inform teaching and implement strategies that raise attainment and close achievement gaps. You will contribute to departmental and whole-school improvement initiatives, share best practice with colleagues, and engage in continuous professional development to enhance teaching and learning.

You will build strong relationships with students, parents, carers, and colleagues, promoting high standards of behaviour, attendance, and engagement. Through your passion for Social Sciences, subject expertise, and commitment to outstanding education, you will play a key role in supporting students' academic success, personal development, and future aspirations.
