About the Role
Lift New Rickstones, graded 'Good' as of November 2023, offers a state-of-the-art building with fantastic facilities for both students and staff. Over the last eight years, the academy has more than doubled its student numbers and remains a popular, oversubscribed choice in the local area, recently expanding with a new building to meet demand.

The school prides itself on a friendly and supportive team environment with high staff retention rates and a strong commitment to professional development through an extensive CPD programme.

We are seeking a passionate and committed Teacher of Humanities to join our established department. The Humanities curriculum integrates History, Religious Studies, and Geography, each led by subject specialists. We have a well-established KS3 curriculum and exemplary resources for staff. At GCSE level, we follow the AQA specification offering History, Geography, and Religious Studies pathways.

Students benefit from a rich enrichment programme including local and international trips to destinations such as Berlin, Krakow, Prague (including Auschwitz), and a residential in Wales where KS4 students climb Mt Snowdon to experience physical geography firsthand. The department is housed in a newly built facility featuring specialist classrooms, a dedicated staff room, and brand-new Food Technology spaces.

Our "Curriculum Drivers" guide everything we do, encouraging students to be safe, happy, proud, and to reach their full potential:
- Mastery: delivering excellent teaching and learning to develop ambitious and committed students.
- Character: nurturing well-rounded young people who "do the right thing when no-one is looking".
- Perspective: fostering open-minded, compassionate students who understand their place in the world and promote inclusivity and justice.

Experience
Applications are welcome from both Early Career Teachers (ECTs) and experienced educators who are enthusiastic about Humanities and eager to inspire a love of the subject.

About you
You will be driven, passionate about Humanities, and committed to contributing to a supportive and ambitious team environment. You should be motivated to develop students’ knowledge and character in line with the school’s values.

Qualifications
Qualified teacher status is required. Additional qualifications or experience in History, Religious Studies, or Geography are desirable but not essential.

Additional Information
Lift Schools offers a comprehensive benefits package including a well-being cash plan, Teachers’ Pension Scheme (TPS), career development and training opportunities, lifestyle perks such as discounted gym memberships and travel deals, and a commitment to diversity, equality, and safeguarding.
