About the Social Sciences Department

The Social Sciences department at Trinity School is a vibrant and collaborative team that strives to ensure all students achieve their full potential.

A significant proportion of sixth form students study Social Sciences, which is highly popular and often has a waiting list. Students are engaged and enthusiastic, demonstrating a real passion for learning. In Psychology, we currently have two Year 12 classes and one Year 13 class. In Sociology, we have one class in Year 12 and two classes in Year 13. Students receive nine one-hour lessons per fortnight in Year 12 and ten hours in Year 13. The department comprises three staff members, with specialists in both subjects. Students study the AQA A Level syllabus in both subjects.

You will be committed to the development and progress of students, able to facilitate and encourage a learning experience that helps students achieve their potential. We seek candidates who enjoy collaborative teamwork, relish challenges, and are resilient. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience teaching Sociology at KS5 with a proven success record.

How to apply

We are a Christian school and value this foundational element. You do not have to be Christian to apply, but must be sympathetic to our Christian values.

We encourage visits to experience the calm and caring atmosphere that others affirm makes Trinity a unique place.

Note: We are recruiting as applications are received, so an appointment may be made before the closing date.

Our school and personnel are committed to safeguarding. The successful applicant will undergo a full DBS check, along with proof of ID, medical clearance, references, social media checks, and right to work in the UK.
