We are seeking to appoint an exceptional and inspiring Languages teacher to be a part of a team dedicated to delivering first class learning for every student.

At EKC Sheppey Secondary, we pride ourselves on our inclusive nature where students of all abilities, backgrounds or beliefs are supported to thrive. Therefore, to work with us, you must be fully committed to show empathy and patience to encourage our students to feel valued and supported. 

The successful candidate will join a school with a strong and supportive senior leadership team for whom staff wellbeing is a priority. We appreciate the challenges teachers face and we do all we can to reduce unnecessary workload and cut down on bureaucracy.  

We firmly believe that learning is lifelong and therefore, we prioritise professional and career development to support every member of our exceptional team. We are also very passionate about ensuring that we support staff wellbeing and aim to have a range of unique strategies to support this to ensure every member of our community can always perform at their best.

• Exhibits a strong commitment to curriculum development and innovative teaching methods. 
• Thrives in a collaborative environment while possessing strong independent initiative. 
• Maintains a data-driven approach to continuous improvement.

We complement this with a competitive salary and benefits package, and we are committed to being an equal opportunities employer.

This is your chance to be part of a brand new school transforming secondary education on the Isle of Sheppey. Be part of a team that works collaboratively to nurture every student’s unique talents… because EKCSS is where belonging meets brilliance!

Information about the school

We nurture every students' unique spark and provide them with a first-class education tailored to meet their needs, regardless of their starting points, backgrounds, abilities, or beliefs. EKC Sheppey Secondary opened in September 2024 to students from Years 7-10, with Year 11 forming as our students move through to KS4.

Every aspect of EKCSS has been designed to blend the best from across sectors. So, whilst setting the highest standards for secondary education, we're rewriting the rules with a look, feel and approach that is deliberately different from a standard secondary school.

Our strong and supportive senior leadership team prioritises purpose over paperwork and value-adding activity over box-ticking, freeing you up to do what matters most: nurturing bright futures.

We are proud to be part of EKC Schools Trust, known for its innovation and empowering schools to meet the unique needs of their communities. As part of the wider EKC family, we, alongside our sister organisation, the East Kent Colleges Group, have a strong and successful relationship with young people and families on the Isle of Sheppey. The EKC Family is a unique and sector-leading partnership; together, we run the Island's only outstanding provisions – Queenborough Primary School and Nursery and EKC Sheppey College – and raising the aspiration of all within the communities we serve drives our work.

The approach and delivery model in our organisations have successfully addressed behaviour, created a culture of success, and are places where staff are extremely proud and happy to work. We will be bringing all this expertise, culture, ethos, and curriculum approaches to EKCSS.

We haven't just opened a school, we are forging a learning community where students and staff thrive… where belonging meets brilliance!
