What skills and experience we're looking for
We are seeking an Assistant Progress Leader for Science to support the strategic development and delivery of a high-quality science curriculum and to provide additional leadership capacity. The successful candidate needs to be a practitioner who consistently delivers high quality teaching with the ability to inspire, engage and motivate students. Strengths will need to include; excellent communication skills, personal ambition and a strong team player and above all else will need to be ‘Dedicated to Excellence’ in all that they do.
The current leadership model has a Progress Leader, and one Assistant Progress Leader who supports at Key Stage 3. This post would see the structure shift to a model of two Assistant Progress Leaders which reflects the value that we place on the subject. The faculty also has an Associate Assistant Headteacher teaching in science and offering senior leadership support.
The new post holder will have responsibility in supporting the development of Key Stage 4 Science, with an emphasis on the development, teaching and leading of Chemistry and providing professional development and training for other team members. Working collaboratively within the faculty will ensure we have a broad, balanced and engaging science curriculum that motivates students and promotes high achievement.
The role includes leading the development, quality assurance and evaluation of KS4 resources, while supporting the Progress Leader for Science through effective use of assessment data to drive improvement in student progress and attainment. The postholder will strengthen the curriculum by linking learning to real-world scientific contexts and STEM careers. This includes coordinating student interactions with STEM professionals, supporting the planning and delivery of extra-curricular and enrichment activities including trips.
What the school offers its staff
If appointed, you can expect full-support and continuing professional development, as we promote a model of leadership at all levels and a bespoke and tailored professional development programme. We offer a professionally stimulating working environment where teachers have the opportunity to progress and most critically, to positively impact the lives of our students.
Commitment to safeguarding
Up Holland High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Successful applicants will need to undertake a DBS enhanced clearance, including checks with past employers. Please note that in line with Keeping Children Safe in Education online searches will be carried out as part of our due diligence on shortlisted candidates.
