Head of PSHE

We are looking to recruit an experienced and inspiring leader to join our academy to lead and teach the PSHE curriculum to KS3 and KS4. The staffing teams are small compared to mainstream schools and the post will suit a Teacher who is willing to be flexible to meet the needs of the pupils and the academy. Our sites in Chesterfield will have approximately 100 pupils on roll with small class sizes of around 10 pupils. This role will be based at one of the 2 Chesterfield secondary sites. We welcome applications from candidates who are able to teach engaging, innovative, and inclusive lessons to challenging and disengaged KS3 and 4 pupils.

Applicants should have good knowledge and experience of working with disaffected pupils in a school or other alternative setting. An affinity for pupils with behavioural, emotional and social difficulties is an essential quality for this challenging but rewarding opportunity. Applicants should be resilient, have high expectations, and a sense of humour. You must be able to build positive relationships with our pupils and think outside of the box. You will be responsible for contributing to a small staffing team to ensure that the site runs smoothly. A growth mindset and positive ethos are essential characteristics that we are looking for.

An allocated base will be named for payment of mileage and any travel calculation between sites for CPD or for engaging in off -site rewards trips etc. Candidates must have access to a car and car insurance with business use included. You may be expected to transport pupils in your own car. All staff may be timetabled to deliver education off site in pupils homes if this is a requirement of the academy.
