Teacher – Humanities / RE
Chaselea Alternative Provision Academy
FTE Teacher for September 2025
MPS/UPS
Chaselea Alternative Provision Academy are advertising for a stand-out candidate to join our staff as a full time and permanent teacher. We are looking for the right person – someone who understands the needs of SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health) pupils and someone who can provide support in the care and learning of our pupils. We look for the right person – this could be an ECT, an experienced teacher with QTS and UPS, or even an unqualified teacher. Although we are a secondary provision, the right person could be primary trained – we have several primary trained teachers on our staff. It is the right person we are after, to join our staff family and help create opportunities for the most vulnerable and complex young people. The ability to teach Humanities/RE is desirable, but not a requirement or a barrier to interest and application.
Chaselea is proud to:
* be a pupil-centered, supportive and improvement-focused school;
* have supportive, forward-thinking, and positive leadership and management teams;
* show commitment to workload regulation and staff wellbeing;
* teach in small class sizes enabling rapid progress and maximum achievement;
* be innovative, flexible, and continually review our progressive curriculum;
* offer genuine opportunity to develop personally and professionally;
* be open to innovation, new ideas and developmental suggestions;
* work in partnership with the Academy Trust, the Districts, external services and agencies and the Local Authority for the betterment of our young people.
Can you engage young people and enrich their educational experience?
* Are you inclusive, empathetic, and supportive?
* Are you solution-focused, positive and determined?
* Are you confident to adapt, push and develop your daily practice?
* Are you skilled at building relationships with challenging learners?
* Are you looking to make a real difference to a young person’s life?
If you can honestly say 'yes' to these questions, we want to meet you and welcome anyone wishing to visit the school prior to application. We have set aside two appointments for tours to meet key staff and explore the school. These are 10:00 on Wednesday 12 March and 13:00 on Thursday 20 March. If you would like to attend one of these dates then please either ring the school office on 01543 227095, or email office@chaselea.mhat.org.uk.
Chaselea strives to provide an “outstanding” educational experience, delivering GCSE and Vocational courses at KS4, and an innovative core subject and topic-based curriculum at KS3. Staff are encouraged to develop skills outside their specialism and to contribute to the combined efforts of the small, committed team that are held in high regard by our pupils and the community. To do this we need a supportive, hard-working, caring, and passionate team made up of outstanding teachers and empathetic support staff.
Alongside our commitment to safeguarding and pupil welfare, we proactively address work-life balance and staff wellbeing.
