Teacher Of Drama And/Or Music - All Saints Catholic College

To commence January 2025 or sooner, we are looking to appoint an enthusiastic and highly motivated Teacher of Drama and Music (combined role) or Drama/Music who is inspirational in the classroom and will make a substantial contribution to the further development of this ‘good’ school. 

The successful candidate will have the qualities to motivate and inspire our students, and always bring out the best in them.

You will be required to teach both at KS3 and KS4 and will have strong classroom management skills, excellent subject knowledge, and the ability to achieve the best possible outcomes for our students. The ability to monitor and track the progress of students through data is essential, as is the ability to work effectively as part of the Creative & Expressive Arts team.

ECT candidates should be completing a PGCE or SCITT course this year and be looking to secure a good school to start their ECT induction.

As standard, we offer ongoing CPD both in-house and through the Calderdale & Kirklees Teaching Hub, covering all aspects of teaching, learning and leadership.

All Saints is an 11-16 school, situated near the northern boundary of Kirklees.  We are a Catholic college with students attending from diverse cultural backgrounds, which contribute to the distinctive ethos.  In November 2022, Ofsted judged All Saints “Good” in every category. We were judged “Outstanding” in terms of our S48 inspection by the Diocese of Leeds in June 2018.

This is a fantastic opportunity to join our College making substantial progress under current leadership. In turn, we are looking for a candidate committed to playing a part in transforming the lives of our young people. 

At All Saints Catholic College, we aim to create a happy workplace culture through promoting a healthy work/life balance. We do that by providing a package of flexible employee benefits, including:

• An attractive pension scheme for both Teaching and Support staff.
• A high-quality wellbeing package including medical cover, counselling, physiotherapy, fast track medical cover, care service and a 24-hour GP helpline.
• Care First Advice - a 24/7 information and counselling service.
• We are part of the Cycle to Work scheme. Tax free bikes and safety equipment can be payable by payroll deduction through a partnership with Cyclescheme.
• Free parking.

Applications are invited from enthusiastic and highly motivated individuals who are able to work as part of the whole staff team, and who will support and uphold the Catholic ethos and practices of the college.
