Head of Religious Education

Required for September 2024

MPS/UPS + TLR2a (£3214)

Email:

Headteacher: Mr S Whitehead BA NPQH

Number on Roll: 954

King James I Academy is an 11-18 Academy located in the centre of Bishop Auckland; a market town surrounded by the Durham Dales, a short journey from the coast, and with excellent transport links via road and rail to other major regional towns and cities, including Durham, Darlington, Newcastle and Sunderland.

We are seeking to appoint a Head of Department for Religious Education who is a talented, creative, and ambitious practitioner who takes pride in building relationships with students, and believes strongly in the ability of all learners both within and beyond the classroom. The successful candidate will be able to inspire and motivate students and colleagues alike.

The position would suit a teacher who is a team player, resilient, willing and able to learn, and with excellent organisational and interpersonal skills. This role is not suitable for an ECT.

The RE department is staffed by talented teachers who are passionate about their subject and who have a track record of enabling students to achieve excellent outcomes at all levels. There is strong uptake from students at GCSE level, and the potential to develop an A' Level cohort in future years.

Working at King James I Academy will provide the opportunity to join a dedicated and highly valued team of staff who are "proud to work at the school" (Ofsted 2022), and whose mission is to become an outstanding academy that develops successful, well rounded, socially mobile and confident young people who can contribute effectively to the global community. Staff wellbeing is a priority at King James, and we have recently been shortlisted for the TES Awards Staff Wellbeing School of the Year

The school joined the Eden Learning Trust in December 2023 and has also previously benefitted from the PSBP programme; enabling a move to state-of-the-art facilities. Student recruitment is consistently strong and the Academy has been oversubscribed in Year 7 for each of the last 5 years, with KS5 numbers also increasing. The Academy was inspected by Ofsted in February 2022 and continues to be judged as 'Good'.

The successful candidate will be supported through a bespoke and individually tailored induction programme as well as being given opportunities and support for further career and professional development.

Closing Date: 12pm Tuesday 21 May 2024

Interviews: Thursday 23 May 2024
