Job Description

This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic and motivated applicant to join our middle leadership team, as part of a friendly and very hard working pastoral team. This is a key appointment for a candidate with a passion for supporting students to achieve their best. It is also an excellent preparation for senior leadership roles.

We would particularly welcome applications from teachers of Science, Humanities, Business, Computing and MFL although this post is open to applicants of all subject specialisms.

Leadership starts in the classroom. As well as being a great leader, we are looking for a teacher who will be able to demonstrate excellence in teaching and have the knowledge and experience to teach across a range of ages and abilities.

We seek inspirational teachers and leaders with the talent and drive to join our strong and successful team. We believe our success is directly linked to the quality of our staff, and we offer excellent professional development. You will be supported by a Pastoral Leader team and Assistant Headteacher.

We would love to hear from you if you are a dynamic and creative individual who makes learning fun and challenging.

At Helena Romanes we value the personal attributes of hard work, positivity and kindness, and we are looking for someone who can model these values.

Helena Romanes joined the highly successful Saffron Academy Trust in September 2020. Consequently, there are a wide range of opportunities in terms of CPD, school-to-school collaboration and career development for members of our team.

We are committed to promoting equality of opportunity, celebrating diversity, safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people.

This is an exciting time to join the school:

- In October 2023, Ofsted judged the school to be GOOD in all areas.

- In September 2021, the school was designated as an all-through school for pupils aged 4-18 years and began admitting pupils into its primary phase. We will grow incrementally over the subsequent years and will eventually become a two-form entry primary phase.

- We are also working with the Department of Education to build a new, state-of-the-art school building on Stortford Road, Great Dunmow, which is set to open to the primary phase in 2026 and the secondary and sixth form phase thereafter.
