Advert

Inspirational Head of Department required to lead Maths at Broomhill Bank due to the retirement of the current successful Head of Department at the end of August.

As Head of Department you will be a core member of our Middle Leadership Team. This is an exciting opportunity to lead a growing department in an expanding school as well as developing wider leadership skills and there may be the opportunity to undertake the National Professional Qualification for Middle Leadership (NPQML). You will develop and teach the Maths curriculum to at least GCSE level across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5 and will also be responsible for supporting the development of the Maths curriculum, including Numeracy, and the staff involved in these key areas.

 It is crucial to us to attract the best possible candidate who, through their quality of teaching and passion for Maths, can inspire our students to achieve the very best in this key curriculum subject. Prior experience in a specialist setting is therefore not essential, as high quality ongoing training and support would be provided to enable you to develop your SEN expertise over time.

The governors are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and the successful candidate will therefore be subject to an Enhanced Check with the Disclosure Barring Service.
