Job overview

Applications are invited from teachers of History or Geography to teach Humanities with English

Route 39 Academy

Do you have the ability to think outside the box; like a challenge and enjoy doing things differently? We are looking for colleagues with a track record of achievement who are able to contribute to all aspects of Academy life. Applicants should be able to demonstrate inspirational teaching and be committed to achieving outstanding outcomes for all students to enable them to live their lives to the full.

Route 39 Academy is a brand new 11-18 state 'free' school, which opened in September 2013 with our first group of students. We are a new choice for north Devon: Our students will benefit from new buildings, new staff and most of all a 21st Century approach to education.

We are seeking to appoint outstanding and inspirational teachers who are not constrained by the traditional approach to secondary education. People who see connected learning and strong relationships as the key to success and have high aspirations for the young people they work with.

Route 39 Academy has a specialism of personalisation with an extended school day. Humanities with English are an integral part of both the curriculum and the extended opportunities that our longer school day allows. We want our students to make the most of the local environment and see the classroom extending beyond the four walls of the school.

Route 39 Academy is a Free School with its own terms and conditions. Staff are valued and given time during the week for collaboration and their own learning and progression. Applications are welcomed from newly qualified teachers and experienced teachers alike.

Closing date for applications: Noon, Monday 12th May 2014
Shortlisting notification will take place on Monday 12th May
Interviews: week beginning 19th May 2014

As an equal opportunities employer we are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff to share this commitment. An enhanced DBS check, proof of qualifications and a medical check will be required of the successful applicant.

We aim to attract the best educators to The Route 39 Academy and are committed to support the continuing development of their skills.

North Devon is well-known for its rugged coastline, stunning views and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its numerous beaches and surrounding countryside offer perfect opportunities for relaxation and tranquility, as well as active pursuits such as hiking, cycling, surfing and diving. The area consists of small rural villages, with neighbouring small market and coastal towns. Local employment is mainly in tourism and farming, but there is increasing diversification as more young families move into the area. There is a range of thriving primary schools, and a strong and vibrant local community.

Atlantic Academy is part of the Launceston College Multi Academy Trust, which aims for young people to be happy, successful and responsible by learning the knowledge, skills and values for society. Upon joining the Trust, Atlantic Academy is able to offer the benefits and community approach of a small school, with the support and networks provided by the wider team.
