Grade: MPS1 – UPS3 (£30,000 – £46,525 per annum)
Hours: Permanent, Full Time
Our values are summed up in our school motto: ‘Fide, Labore, Caritate’, and all members of our school community live out these values – faith, hard work and kindness – every day, making Cardinal Hume a very special community to work in for our staff, and to be educated in for our students.
Graded ‘Outstanding’ in 2008 and 2014 by Ofsted and in 2019 by the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle, Cardinal Hume Catholic School is an 11 – 18, high-performing, academy which serves the East of Gateshead. We are proud to be part of the Bishop Wilkinson Catholic Education Trust, the largest Catholic Education Trust in the North-East of England, which will have a total of 48 schools. Thus, there are many opportunities for CPD and collaborative work across a number of schools. Furthermore, a comprehensive and bespoke support and induction programme is provided for all new staff.
We wish to appoint a dynamic, well qualified, and highly effective Teacher of English. English is a thriving and popular area of the curriculum with excellent uptake and outcomes at both Key Stages 4 and 5 in both Language and Literature. Many students also go on to study the subject at university.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to develop within an established and supportive team of colleagues and will have the benefit of working in our suite of modern classrooms and work areas.
In order to recruit and retain the best possible candidates Cardinal Hume offers a range of enhancements for staff including:
- High priority for admission of children of staff to the school.
- Access to school fitness facilities, including a gym.
- A number of salary sacrifice schemes. These relate to electric vehicles and bicycles.
- Access to a range of training programmes (including NPQ) to ensure professional development.
- A supportive environment where work/life balance issues are considered carefully.
