Teacher of Maths
About This Role
The School
Thank you for taking the time to consider applying to join our team at St Joseph’s. Our school values are summed up in our mission statement. We want all of our students to live life to the full. This mission is underpinned by our FLAME character values of Faith, Learning, Attitude, Mutual Respect and Enrichment. Each member of our school community lives out these values making St Joseph’s a truly special community in which to work.
Graded ‘Good’ in 2022 by Ofsted and Outstanding in 2019 by the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle, St Joseph’s is an 11 - 18 academy which serves the communities of South Tyneside and East Gateshead. The majority of our pupils come from Hebburn and Jarrow with some travelling from much further afield.
St Joseph’s Catholic Academy is part of Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust which is one of four Trusts in the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle. The Trust includes five Secondary and twenty-five Primary Schools across South Tyneside, Sunderland and East Durham, which offers the opportunity to work collaboratively. Within the school and wider trust there are significant opportunities for CPD and collaborative work across a number of schools.
The Role
We wish to appoint a dynamic, well qualified, and highly effective Teacher of Maths to make a significant impact on the outcomes of students within our school. It is an exciting time to join St Joseph’s. The school is oversubscribed in Key Stage 3 and has a vibrant Sixth Form with a broad curriculum offer. This is a fixed-term position for one academic year due to increasing student numbers.
If you are able to offer an additional subject, please detail this in your personal statement as part of the application.
In joining us at St Joseph’s you will have the opportunity to develop within an established and supportive team of colleagues and will have the benefit of working in our modern school environment. The majority of the building dates from 2010 with some of the original 1950s building being totally refurbished at this point. The school has a proud history and supportive governing body. Visits to the school to find out more about our vision and values are encouraged.
Applications are welcomed from Catholic and non-Catholic teachers who are supportive of the Catholic ethos of the school.
