4 weeks ago
Would you like to work nine days but be paid for ten? What really sets The Highcrest Academy apart is our teachers: their passion drives our progress and transforms the way we think and work, and in return, we are committed to their well-being and mental health. We understand the pressures that working in education can place on individuals and are always looking for ways to improve working conditions and offer our staff incentives that are not always available in education.
From September 2024, we will be implementing a nine-day working fortnight for all staff. The premise is simple: you will work nine days but be paid for ten, using the tenth day to 'reset', thus giving you the opportunity to manage your work/life balance more effectively. You will also enjoy a Wellness Day to relax and unwind every year in addition to school holidays.
In addition, we offer significant investment in your professional development and the possibility of onsite accommodation if you need to relocate. You can also expect facilities that are second to none, including an excellent canteen, gym and coffee shop, but above all, you will relish the satisfaction of transforming futures and helping our students overcome obstacles to experience life to the full.
Take your career to the next levelAs the only all-ability academy in Buckinghamshire, we do whatever it takes to tackle disadvantage and provide an outstanding education to everyone. Our innovative curriculum is as diverse as our student community and is purpose-designed to release the potential of academic high-flyers and those with SEN alike.
Explore the opportunityThe Highcrest Academy seeks an experienced, innovative and charismatic Head of Business/IT looking to join a happy and motivated team of teaching specialists.
We have strong and established links with local industry and international companies to enthuse our students about the global business environment. Can you inspire your staff and lead them to bring industry and business to life within the classroom?
Business Studies and Computing courses are offered at Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4 and Key Stage 5. The academy offers a broad range of Business and Computing courses and has a particularly strong and popular Sixth Form Business Studies programme. The number of Sixth Form students taking the subject has grown year on year. Our new Sixth Form Centre offers state-of-the-art facilities. It is used extensively by students studying Business Studies and Computer Science in Key Stage 5. We have an established Young Enterprise Club as well as the Business and Computing lunchtime club.
The role would best suit an experienced practitioner who can offer to teach Business; however, for the right candidate, we will consider anyone who could offer to teach any of the following subjects: Business, IT and Computer Science – including any combination of them.
Business/IT is a successful department, constantly striving to meet the needs of our students, and has a commitment to continuous school improvement. We believe that our Heads of Department have a pivotal role in inspiring and challenging pupils of every ability in every year to raise their academic standards, in promoting their confidence and self-esteem, and in securing year on year improving GCSE and post-16 results.
