St Joseph’s Catholic Academy (Hebburn)
Thank you for taking the time to consider applying to join our team at St Joseph’s. Our school
values are summed up in our mission statement. We want all of our students to live life to the full.
This mission is underpinned by our FLAME character values of Faith, Learning, Attitude, Mutual
Respect and Enrichment. Each member of our school community lives out these values making St
Joseph’s a truly special community in which to work.
Graded ‘Good’ in 2022 by Ofsted and Outstanding in 2019 by the Diocese of Hexham and
Newcastle, St Joseph’s is an 11 – 18 academy which serves the communities of South Tyneside
and East Gateshead. The majority of our pupils come from Hebburn and Jarrow with some
travelling from much further afield.
St Joseph’s Catholic Academy is part of Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust which is one
of four Trusts in the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle. The Trust includes five Secondary and
twenty-five Primary Schools across South Tyneside, Sunderland and East Durham, which offers
the opportunity to work collaboratively. Within the school and wider trust there are significant
opportunities for CPD and collaborative work across a number of schools.
We wish to appoint a dynamic, well qualified, and highly effective part-time Teacher of PE on a 0.6
FTE basis, to make a significant impact on the outcomes of students of our school. It is an exciting
time to join St Joseph’s. The school is oversubscribed in Key Stage 3 and has a vibrant sixth form
with a broad curriculum offer.
In joining us at St Joseph’s you will have the opportunity to develop within an established and
supportive team of colleagues and will have the benefit of working in our modern school
environment. The majority of the building dates from 2010 with some of the original 1950s building
being totally refurbished at this point. The school has a proud history and supportive governing
body. Visits to the school to find out more about our vision and values are encouraged.
In order to recruit and retain the best possible candidates St Joseph’s offers a range of
enhancements for staff including:
1. Ample free parking
2. Access to school fitness facilities
3. Access to a range of training programmes (including NPQ) to ensure professional
development
4. A supportive environment where work/life balance issues are considered carefully
A comprehensive induction programme is provided for all new staff.
Applications are welcomed from Catholic and non-Catholic teachers who are supportive of the
Catholic ethos of the school.
