High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom The Highcrest Academy Full time
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.

But what really sets us apart is our teachers: their passion drives our progress and transforms the way we think and work. You can join them and take your career to the next level.

Explore the opportunity

You will be joining a strong, friendly teaching department with a wide range of expertise. This would also be the ideal role to further develop your teaching craft and develop your leadership skills. There will be opportunities to teach across KS3, 4 and 5, allowing you to present your enthusiasm for the subject or to develop best practice. English is a leading department at Highcrest; GCSE results are good, and A Level students have progressed to prestigious universities, including Cambridge. Literacy is a whole-school key improvement focus.

In addition, you will join our Inclusion team as Head of Learning to our Year 11 students, line managing an Assistant Head of Learning, as well as a tutor team. As a team, you will ensure all students get the best possible pastoral care throughout their time at Highcrest, sharing responsibility for the learning and personal development of all students. You will also work closely with our Heads of Department, analysing data to ensure all students maximise their potential.

This part of your role includes leading and monitoring a tutor time programme and organising and monitoring Life Lessons, as well as taking a strategic lead to ensure the students display the highest level of attainment, attendance, punctuality and behaviour throughout school.

We would be keen to speak to you as you take your first or further steps into Middle Management.

But above all, you will relish the satisfaction of transforming futures and helping our students overcome obstacles to experience life to the full.
