Teacher of Humanitites

3 months ago


Derby, Derby, United Kingdom West Park School Full time
Teacher of Humanities

Geography and History Specialisms Considered

Temporary, maternity cover, 1 year

Would you like to work in a single academy trust that has the autonomy to make the best decisions for their staff and pupils?

Would you be inspired by working in a school where you are trusted as a professional and have the space to deliver creative and inspiring lessons?

Would you flourish in a school that uses funding streams to benefit learning and to encourage modern and innovative approaches to learning, including virtual reality?

Would you enjoy being part of a big school family that is at the centre of its community and supports stakeholders with its own eco-shop, community events and parent workshops?

Would you thrive with the support of a unique well being offer with an annual gift of time day, creative approaches to staff development, imaginative CPD opportunities and staff support services on site?

Could you be the newest addition to a well-established staff team contributing to our calm and purposeful environment which allows staff to teach and support and pupils to flourish and achieve?

The Humanities team operate within an extremely successful, dynamic and well-resourced faculty. It offers a challenging, stimulating and supportive environment in which you will thrive as a teacher and build your career. In Years 7-8, pupils are taught Humanities and learn from a contemporary curriculum with both breadth and depth, switching between Geography, History and Religious Studies several times throughout each year. From Year 9, pupils are taught in subject-specific groups. The skills for success at GCSE underpin all units in each of the subjects. Despite being taught as three subjects, they are viewed holistically as a trinity of Humanities learning, with all teachers teaching Religious Studies at GCSE. We seek applicants with drive and enthusiasm who can bring their own expertise and experience to the team. We are also looking for someone to specialise in either Geography or History.

The Geography Department delivers the Eduqas (formerly WJEC) Specification B GCSE qualification. This is made up of three components, each of which are examined. Component 1 is split into three cross-disciplinary themes: Theme 1: Changing places – changing economies; Theme 2: Changing environments, and; Theme 3: Environmental challenges. Component 2 is problem solving geography, which is a cross-theme paper. Component 3 is the fieldwork enquiry on which pupils are examined on their experiences of fieldwork, several of which are conducted off-site during the course.

The History Department delivers the AQA GCSE qualification. This is made up of four units, each of which are examined. The first two units are Wider World Studies: American Expansionism and Conflict and Tension The second paper examines two British Studies: Health and the People and Norman England.

Applications are welcome from experienced teachers or ECTs. Visits to the school are strongly encouraged, particularly during the school day, to enable you to sample the unique atmosphere. Please call or email for an appointment, our contact details are on our website.

Please note we are not registered as a Visa Sponsorship Academy so cannot provide sponsorship if you do not already have a work visa.
