On behalf of Greenhead College, thank you for your interest in the post of Teacher of Mathematics. We are pleased that you are considering Greenhead College as the next stage in your career, and we hope, subject to matching our criteria, you will apply.

Greenhead College is located on an attractive campus close to Huddersfield town centre, adjacent to the picturesque Greenhead Park. We are a short drive from the M62 and within walking distance of the train and bus station. Therefore, the College is an easy commute from much of the Northwest and Yorkshire.

The College provides outstanding education to approximately 2750 students, who study predominantly A Level courses. The philosophy of the College is based on the principle that each student and staff member is an individual and to be valued. According to the Government performance tables, Greenhead is currently the top performing Sixth Form College in the Yorkshire and the Humber for A Level results and third best nationally.

In March 2022, the College was once again graded ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted, with no areas of weakness identified. This is testament to the resilience, ambition and success of our students, and the hard work of staff. Therefore, Greenhead is both a successful and significant Sixth Form College, with an outstanding local and national reputation.

The College is a great place to work, with a warm, inclusive atmosphere existing between students and staff. Our staff are recognised for their hard work and are encouraged to inspire each another, and to develop and grow. We are proud to have a strong and able Senior Leadership Team, experienced Governors, and a team of highly skilled teaching and support staff who work collaboratively to deliver the College’s mission, values and strategic objectives. The College offers a wide range of employee benefits such as free onsite staff car parking, generous holiday entitlement, a significantly enhanced occupational pension scheme, free use of the College gym, cycle to work scheme, plus many more.

This is an exciting time to be joining Greenhead College. Recently, we were one of only 50 schools and colleges nationally to be granted multi-million-pound funding to build a new four-storey block, which is currently under construction and will open during the next academic year.

The successful applicant will teach a range of different level 3 courses such as Further Mathematics, A-Level Mathematics, Statistics and/or Core Mathematics, together with participation in enrichment activities.  Whatever your timetable, you can be assured of support and guidance from your Head of Department and colleagues.
