Head of Social Sciences

apartmentPark Hall Academy placeBirmingham calendar_month 
Embark on an inspiring leadership journey with Park Hall Academy’s dynamic Social Sciences department. Social Sciences consistently ranks as one of the most popular choices for GCSE, BTEC, and A-Level studies, boasting a reputation for exceptional lessons and outstanding results.

With our previous Head of Department now excelling to become an Assistant Headteacher, this is a unique opportunity to steer the department toward new heights of success. We invite you to join us, innovate, and lead a team dedicated to shaping the future of Social Sciences at Park Hall.

The successful candidate will have excellent subject knowledge and be able to motivate students through inspirational teaching. The ability to teach A-Level Sociology and Psychology is advantageous. Impact and ambition is valued as highly as experience.

We pride ourselves on our support, training and cross trust opportunities. Indeed, two of our Headteachers started as newly qualified teachers within the trust.

We are a GOOD school. Our Ofsted in May 2023 highlighted our many Good and Outstanding features.

We promise to offer you both a stimulating and highly rewarding experience in return for your motivational skills and good practice. Opportunities don’t arise very often to work in a vibrant school like Park Hall and we are delighted to be offering the chance for someone to join the team.

In return, we can offer you:

  • A positive and innovative learning culture supported by a dynamic Humanities department, staffed by specialist teachers
  • A collaborative and supportive attitude amongst staff which promotes a sense of teamwork and unity
  • A Senior Leadership team who is committed to promoting the best environment and outcomes for staff and students
  • Teacher Pension and a Cycle to Work scheme

Come and visit us - you will not be disappointed. To arrange a visit or a conversation about this opportunity, please contact Hannah Knowles, PA to Associate Headteacher, on 0121 748 0423 or email: recruitment@parkhall.org.

Exceptional candidates may be interviewed prior to the closing date. If you would like to join an Academy where the future is set to be an impressive one, please visit our website via the Apply button. Please include a supporting statement of no more than one side of A4 outlining how your experience, knowledge, skills and abilities equip you for the post and how they meet the requirements of the Personal Specification.

Closing date: 10:00am on 20th March 2025.

Interview date: 25th March 2025.

The Arden Multi Academy Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and as such expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
