About the Role
A rare opportunity to join a thriving and successful English department that is too good to miss! If the chance to work with motivated and engaged students, alongside a team of committed and hardworking colleagues in a school where staff are proud to work sounds appealing, then Lift Greensward might just be the place for you. Rated "Good" by OFSTED in November 2023, the report praised our ambitious, well-planned curriculum which builds on knowledge and vocabulary over time. We have a large and vibrant sixth form ranked amongst the very best in the country for almost a decade, and a school that places the student at the centre of everything we do. There is an opportunity for an aspiring leader to receive a TLR for leading either within the English department or a whole school initiative. If you are able to deliver every lesson with energy, creativity and humour; have the subject knowledge and communication skills to challenge and develop every learner regardless of ability; believe in the values of mutual respect, equity and dignity; can develop effective working relationships with colleagues, students and their families; and want the chance for a leadership role either within English or across the school while teaching English to the highest standard up to A Level, then Lift Greensward would love to meet you!
