Summary
We are looking for a Librarian and Teacher of Literacy to join our team from August 2024. Since the introduction of a new Principal and leadership team in 2017, Redmoor has experienced sustained and continuous improvement to ensure our students make better progress than similar students nationally. This was recognized in our most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2021 where we were judged securely “good” in all areas, demonstrated by 6 years of positive Progress 8 and fantastic GCSE outcomes for students, evidenced in the social development of our students as they become valuable members of the community and affirmed by the significant over subscription for places in Year 7 we experience every year.At Redmoor Academy, Literacy is taught once a week to our Year 7 and 8 students. Our department consists of vibrant and passionate members of staff from across the school who are committed to developing students' communication skills, understanding of language and love of literature. Through these lessons, our students develop strong oracy skills that empower them to share their opinions in a confident and empathetic way, and, through the shared reading of high-quality fiction, a deeper understanding of the world around them. We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and dynamic practitioner who will support both the delivery of our Literacy curriculum and our interventions aimed at struggling readers.
Our Librarian will play an important role in raising the profile of reading across all year groups, working alongside our Literacy Coordinator to do so. This exciting and challenging post therefore requires a resourceful, creative and enthusiastic individual with a dedication to inspiring a love of reading for all of our students.Staff well-being is very important to us and we are genuinely a happy place to work. All Redmoor staff have access to a range of benefits, recently enhanced to include a healthcare package (upon successfully completing a 6 month probationary period) that provides refunds on everyday medical expenses (opticians and dental care included) and also access to experts and scans as required. Our other benefits include complimentary hot drinks, access to well-being and counseling services and professional development courses linked to your role. We have a clear understanding of what we are looking for in the staff we appoint. If you have a desire to work hard transforming lives, are a team player and want to be part of a dynamic team, you could be a Redmoor person.This post is eligible for a DBS check under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (i.e. it involves certain activities in relation to children and/ or adults) and is defined as regulated activity under Part 1 of the Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006. The school will also be conducting an online search as part of our due diligence on all shortlisted candidates. The purpose of this is to help identify any incidents or issues that have happened, the details of which are publicly available online, and to determine a candidates’ suitability to work with children and keep them safe.
