Achievement Leader: Humanities

'Training opportunities are wide-ranging drawing on the experience and expertise of staff within school' Ofsted 2013

Buttershaw Business & Enterprise College is housed in a brilliant new £26 million building which is a massive investment in both the school and the community. We are on the southern edge of Bradford and 7 miles from Leeds. We are popular locally and heavily over-subscribed.

Learning has been transformed at Buttershaw with new opportunities, new facilities and new technologies. The curriculum is innovative with courses for all abilities and we are truly proud of our inclusive approach and our commitment to see every child reach his or her potential.

We now wish to appoint an inspiring and enthusiastic Achievement Leader for Humanities to help us accelerate and improve provision in this crucial department. You will be joining a dedicated team which works with students of all abilities to remove specific barriers to learning and allow students to progress rapidly. This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious teacher looking for next step into a more strategic role.

You will have:

• Successful experience of teaching in KS3 & KS5 to a range of abilities
• Experience of teaching AS and A2 History
• Experience in a post of responsibility in a successful humanities department
• The passion and skills to bring the best out of our wonderful students
• A commitment to continuous professional development (CPD)
• Creative and engaging skills, especially with the use of ICT, with the ability to enthuse and challenge students

We can offer:

• Clear and shared values and expectations
• A commitment to tailored professional development
• Membership of a supportive team within our humanities department
• A stimulating work environment

Over the next year, we are due to join the Navigate Academies Trust. Navigate Academies Trust is an inspirational academies network that aims to give children and young people from all backgrounds an education that will transform their lives. Becoming an academy will add significant capacity to our improvement journey and provide staff with exciting opportunities to work trust wide.

If you have the vision and drive for excellence and you want to be part of an enthusiastic and well-resourced team we would like to hear from you. Visits to the school are encouraged and can be arranged by contacting Emily Day at Navigate.
