ABOUT US:

The Rise School, part of the Ambitious about Autism Schools Trust, opened in September 2014 as part of the government’s free school programme. Our mission is simple yet transformative: to equip pupils with the qualifications and life skills they need to thrive beyond school, whether in further education, employment, or as active members of society.
In September 2019, we proudly opened our Sixth Form, continuing our journey of excellence and growth. We place equal emphasis on academic achievement and social development, nurturing the whole child to unlock their full potential.
We are seeking a dedicated and inspirational Humanities Teacher to lead the planning and delivery of engaging, high-quality PSHE, Citizenship and History lessons across both Primary and Secondary phases, including GCSE-level classes. You will play a pivotal role in shaping a coherent, impactful curriculum that motivates learners, fosters curiosity, and promotes social understanding.

WHY JOIN US?

• A supportive, collaborative, and forward-thinking school community.
• Opportunities for professional development and career progression.
• A chance to make a meaningful difference in the lives of young people.
  If you’re ready to inspire, challenge, and empower our pupils to reach their full potential, we would love to hear from you.
