An outstanding teacher of Geography to join a strong Humanities Department. Cramlington Learning Village is an exciting place to work and offers excellent ICT provision and staff development opportunities at home and abroad. The school is at the forefront of developing new teaching and learning strategies, with the Humanities department playing a leading role in the successful exploration of new methodologies. Humanities is taught to the 11-14 age range and thereafter Geography is a popular option at both GCSE and ‘A’ Level.

You will lead the development of Geography across the age range and will also be expected to bring strong organisational and management skills to a broader role within the department. This is an ideal stepping stone to a Head of Humanities post in the near future and we are looking for someone who will not only develop the Geography Department but also the people within it.

If you wish to try out your own ideas and exciting new methods of teaching in a supportive learning community we would like to hear from you. All new teachers will receive an induction programme and ongoing support in a school noted for its friendly staff and motivated students. Join us and make a difference!
