The Trust wishes to appoint an enthusiastic, ambitious and highly motivated Teacher of Sociology and Personal Development to join a dynamic, experienced and deeply committed team at Wembley High Technology College. This is an exciting opportunity for a teacher who is passionate about social sciences and student development, and keen to contribute to a high-performing team with a strong track record of success.
Sociology is a popular and growing subject within the Trust, with strong uptake at Key Stage 5 and a curriculum that encourages students to think critically about the world around them. Alongside this, Personal Development is a central pillar of our curriculum, ensuring that all students are equipped with the knowledge, skills and character to thrive in modern society. This includes a carefully sequenced programme covering relationships, health, citizenship, and preparation for life beyond school.

This represents a significant platform for professional growth, curriculum design, and collaboration within a forward-thinking educational environment.
The successful candidate will be creative, well organised and committed to excellence in the classroom, and will play a key role in further developing Sociology and Personal Development across the Trust. They will also contribute to our vibrant and wide-ranging extra-curricular programme, including debate, student leadership, enrichment activities, and opportunities that promote active citizenship and deepen students’ understanding of society.
