About the role:
Are you a talented teacher of Business and/or Economics with the drive and ambition to take the next step in your career? Whether this is your first move into middle leadership or you are looking for a platform to accelerate into senior leadership, we want to hear from you.
Notley High School & Sixth Form is a rapidly improving school in the heart of Braintree, Essex. Our Sixth Form was judged ‘Good’ by Ofsted in 2023, and the whole school is on an exciting journey of transformation. We are looking for an inspirational leader to take the helm of our Business & Economics Faculty – helping to shape the next chapter of our story.
The Faculty
The Business & Economics Faculty offers engaging, rigorous and relevant courses at both KS4 and KS5. As Head of Faculty, you will lead the Business and Economics teams and, for the right candidate, will also have oversight of Computer Science through line management of the Subject Leader for Computer Science. This is a genuine opportunity to develop a broad and ambitious portfolio as a middle leader.
What We’re Looking For:
We are open to candidates at different career stages and will tailor our support accordingly:
• A qualified teacher of Business and/or Economics with a strong track record of classroom practice
• First-time middle leaders who are ready to step up and want to grow into the role with support and coaching
• Experienced middle leaders who are ready to use this role as a springboard into senior leadership
• Someone with the ambition, resilience and energy to lead a faculty through a period of genuine improvement
• A collaborative team player who builds positive relationships with staff and students alike
• A strong commitment to high aspirations for every student
Key Responsibilities
• Lead, manage and develop the teaching team across Business, Economics and (for the right candidate) Computer Science
• Drive high-quality teaching and learning across the faculty
• Use data intelligently to track progress and target intervention, especially for Year 11
• Write and implement a Faculty Development Plan aligned to the School Improvement Plan
• Lead on curriculum planning, assessment and quality assurance within the faculty
• Line manage the Subject Leader for Computer Science
• Manage the faculty budget and contribute to whole-school improvement
What the school offers its staff
Why Join Us?
• A school that is genuinely on the rise, with significant investment in staffing and curriculum
• 100% subject specialist staffing across the school – we are serious about quality
• A supportive and ambitious senior leadership team committed to developing middle leaders
• Access to trust-wide professional development, networks and resources through Bridge Academy Trust
• The opportunity to make a real and lasting difference to students’ life chances
