Thank you for considering 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 serving the communities of South Tyneside and East Gateshead.
The majority of our pupils come from Hebburn and Jarrow, with some travelling from further afield.
St Joseph’s Catholic Academy is part of Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust, which includes five Secondary and twenty-five Primary Schools across South Tyneside, Sunderland and East Durham. The Trust offers opportunities for collaboration, CPD, and shared initiatives.
The Role
Working within a dedicated and experienced team, this role offers an opportunity for an experienced teacher to further develop their love of Maths within a supportive department. There is also a pastoral element, supporting student wellbeing, working as a form tutor, overseeing tutor time activities, and delivering the PSHE curriculum.
If you can offer additional subjects, please specify these in your application. The ability to teach KS3 Science is an advantage.
This is a fixed-term contract to cover maternity leave and due to increasing student numbers.
Joining us at St Joseph’s provides the chance to develop professionally within a passionate school community, working in modern facilities, some refurbished from the original 1950s structures. Visits to learn more about our vision and values are encouraged.
