Head of English.
- Does the thought of shaping the English curriculum excite you?
- Are you passionate about your subject and driven to support pupils and colleagues to reach their full potential?
- Do you want to work in a Trust where 100% of colleagues answered either ‘strongly agree’ (97%) or ‘agree’ (3%) to the question ‘I am proud to be a member of staff’? With 84% responding ‘strongly agree’ and the remainder ‘agree’ to the question ‘I enjoy working at this school’ in the anonymous staff survey of Jan 2023.
Are you the ambitious and committed professional we are looking for? If so, please note our staff retention rate has remained static at 96% for three years and there is a reason for this: we offer an exceptionally rewarding place to work.
Roman Fields is an exceptionally rewarding place to work; this is partly due to the amazing progress our pupils make socially, emotionally and academically. Small group teaching allows for strong relationships to be built and for staff to experience genuine ‘work-life’ balance whilst making a difference to vulnerable pupils and their families.
Roman Fields will provide interested candidates with the opportunity to learn from experienced colleagues, so that each pupil is provided with a bespoke, holistic pathway that has challenge and support in equilibrium. Our belief is that we can support an excellent teacher with high expectations to work successfully with all pupils, hence, expertise in the classroom and the desire to learn will always be significantly more important than SEN experience.
We are therefore looking to recruit an enthusiastic, reflective and committed individual with possible aspirations for future progression within a thriving and unique organisation. You must be proactive in your approach, working closely with parents, our staff team and other agencies to find workable solutions and responses to engage pupils and support their well-being and attendance. You should also be willing to spend time with our pupils outside of lessons to build the essential relationships that shape the Trust and allow us all to flourish.
If this sounds like the role and setting for you, we'd love for you to visit; please contact Mandy Crow - 01442 256915 (ext. 203) - term time only to arrange a visit.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share in this obligation. The successful candidate will be required to undertake an enhanced disclosure by the DBS.
