The Governing Body is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, committed and well-qualified teacher to join our highly effective team from September 2025, to deliver a range of national curriculum subjects primarily in Year 7 including English, Maths and Science, and providing effective inclusion and transition support for students entering KS3. Additionally, the role is likely to include academic tuition and support for targeted students on a 1:1 basis and in small groups. It is likely that the students being supported will be vulnerable; for example, students with SEND, looked after children or students who are unable to attend school as a result of anxiety or other medical issues.
The ideal candidate will have a positive impact on student progress and be effective at raising attainment. You will have experience in a school setting, excellent behaviour management skills and the ability to contribute positively to student learning. As a varied teaching role, you will be expected to work in conjunction with a range of subject leaders to develop an understanding of the curriculum design as well as the SENDCO and wider SEND team to ensure the design and delivery of lessons meets the individual needs of the students. You will be a qualified teacher and have the skills and knowledge to deliver support in core subjects, and be flexible enough to support in other subject areas as the need arises. We would be happy to consider KS2 or 3 qualified teacher for this role, and would consider part time working for the right candidate.
At Litherland High School we believe in providing our students with excellent and exciting educational opportunities based on the core values of kindness, integrity and tenacity. We are proud of our broad and balanced curriculum and high aspiration; there is no cap on ambition building the skills for successful lives. We are incredibly proud that our relentless focus on improvement was validated by Ofsted in February 2024, securing Good in all areas. We are resolutely on our journey to provide an outstanding education for our students.
One of the foundations of our success is our place in the heart of our community; the relationships between our staff, students and families are fundamental to securing the high levels of engagement. 96% of parents would recommend our school to other parents. This partnership helps us to ensure strong behaviour, which means our teachers can work in a happy and safe environment, focused on what they do best: teaching. Our staff are committed to our school and community; many of them have been here for most of their career – indeed several are alumni and live locally - and staff turnover is low, which we believe is indicative of a happy work environment and a commitment to staff well-being.
If you can inspire children, enjoy working with young people and are determined to make a real difference to the students you teach then you could be the kind of teacher we are looking for.
