Teacher of Social Sciences (Sociology, Psychology)

We are looking to appoint an inspirational and enthusiastic teacher to join our newly created Social Sciences Faculty. Psychology has a strong reputation as one of highest performing departments at A Level; student numbers are consistently high. Due to the continued success, we have expanded our curriculum to include Sociology from September 2022. Both subjects follow the AQA syllabus. Having taught this specification would be advantageous but not essential. We are interested in hearing from people who are also able to teach other subjects as well as those listed above, for example GCSE Child Development and Health and Social Care at Key Stage 5. The ideal candidate will:

• Be passionate about their subjects and have the desire to share that passion with students.
• Be an innovative and inspiring classroom teacher.
• Be able to work collaboratively in a dynamic team.
• Be reflective and eager to develop their teaching skills.
Little Heath School is a highly successful comprehensive school (1658 on roll, including 366 in the Sixth Form) situated in a pleasant semi-rural setting to the west of Reading, with good access to road and rail links. The school has recently benefited from a significant and transformational building project, opening a new £15 million main block in spring 2021. As a school, we pride ourselves on our Continuing Professional Development Programme, which supports teachers to continually improve their practice in innovative ways, collaborating with other members of staff. This role has been identified as public facing in accordance with Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016, and therefore the ability to converse at ease with pupils/members of the public and provide advice/instruction in accurate spoken English is essential for the post.
