About this Role
Discover What Highcrest Can Offer You
How does working nine days but being paid for ten sound?
Since September 2024, all permanent staff at Highcrest have benefitted from a 9-day working fortnight. The concept is simple: you attend work for nine days and get paid for ten. The tenth day is your dedicated ‘Reset Day’ — time away from school to catch up on your to-do list, recharge, and invest in your well-being. This is in addition to your statutory PPA time.
Staff feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. Colleagues return from your reset day feeling more energised, less overwhelmed, and better able to manage the demands of school life. Many also enjoy the extra flexibility, reduced travel time, and cost savings.
Could this be the change you’ve been looking for?
On top of this, we offer:
- Exceptional investment in your professional development
- The potential for on-site accommodation if you're relocating
- First-class facilities, including a well-equipped gym, excellent canteen, and a welcoming coffee shop
Does Highcrest sound like the school for you?
If you're driven by the satisfaction of transforming lives and helping young people overcome barriers to success, we’d love to hear from you.

Our innovative, inclusive curriculum reflects the diversity of our school community and is purposefully designed to challenge, support, and inspire every learner.

Explore the opportunity
You will be a Teacher of History, who has experience of teaching A Level History (ideally AQA). The ability to teach Politics would be an advantage.
The Humanities Department has experienced significant growth in recent years and now offers History, Geography and Religious Studies at both GCSE and A Level, alongside Law and Politics in Key Stage 5. You will join a team of dedicated subject specialists who share a strong moral purpose and commitment to excellence. Together, we challenge and inspire our students to step beyond their comfort zones and achieve their full potential within a safe, inclusive and supportive learning environment. We firmly believe that students should not only learn about the Humanities, but experience them through an engaging, enriching and challenging curriculum.
We look forward to hearing from you.
The Highcrest Academy is fully committed to safeguarding children (polices on web). All members of staff are in a "regulated" role under the Vetting & Barring Scheme and have to be DBS cleared prior to employment.
