Discover what we can offer you

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 level

As 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 opportunity

We are keen to appoint an exceptionally motivated and outstanding subject specialist who may be keen to actively support the running of the Humanities department. The department has seen a lot of growth in the past four years and is now offering History, Geography and Religious Studies at GCSE and A-Level, with Law and Politics additionally offered in KS5.

We are a vibrant and enthusiastic department of 10 subject specialists, working collectively and celebratorily to ensure the pupils' continued success, as well as that of the department. We work efficiently and effectively, both within subjects and across Key Stages, to provide the best for our pupils. The team has a strong moral and work ethic, which allows us to push our pupils outside of their comfort zones to achieve their full potential in a safe and adapted environment to support their individual needs. We strongly believe all pupils should not only learn about elements of the Humanities curriculum but also experience it.

We seek to appoint a well-rounded subject specialist who is able to teach both GCSE and A-Level pupils, ideally in Religious Studies and/or History, but we are very happy to consider applicants with other Humanities specialisms who would be keen to take the next step in their career.

Whether you are an ECT or are ready to take your first or further steps into middle management, we would like to hear from you.

If you're ready to join our team, please complete our online application form via the apply button.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Closing date: 20th May 2024.

Please note, we will be reviewing applications on an ongoing basis and may close the advert early should we receive an exceptional candidate, so we recommend applying early.

The Highcrest Academy is fully committed to safeguarding children (polices on web). All members of staff are in a "regulated" role under the Vetting & Barring Scheme and have to be DBS cleared prior to employment.
