Academy & Cluster Vacancies

Hartshill Academy is a 11-16 comprehensive school on the edge of Nuneaton in North Warwickshire. Hartshill Academy has a strong sense of community in its staff and in the community it serves. At Hartshill Academy we have high expectations of ourselves. We practice kindness and gratitude every day. Our HART values of Heart, Ambition, Respect and Tenacity underpin everything we do. We take time to reflect on our HART values and how we can develop each day. We want to ensure we are always challenging ourselves to be even better today than yesterday. We strive to practice perfect in everything we do. We know that our daily practices become our habits, our habits become our character and our character is who we are.

This is a very exciting time for Hartshill Academy as we prepare for the move to our new building in September 2023. We are very fortunate to be one of the 50 schools chosen nationally as part of this project and we are all looking forward to the new opportunities this will bring.

In November 2023 we will join United Learning, a large, and growing, group of schools aiming to offer a life changing education to children and young people across England.

United Learning schools work as a team and achieve more by sharing than any single school could. The subject specialists, Group-wide intranet, own curriculum, and online learning portal all help us share knowledge and resource, helping to simplify work processes and manage workloads for an improved work-life balance.

We invest in our staff wellbeing. We have at least eight INSET days per year (with three of those solely dedicated to planning), and an ongoing group-wide wellbeing programme. It's an ethos we call ‘the best in everyone’.

We are working hard to become a more diverse organisation – which is key to our commitment to bringing out the best in everyone. We welcome applications from everyone committed to this ethos and would particularly welcome applications from black and minority ethnic candidates, who are currently under-represented in the Group as a whole. We always appoint on merit. We are open to discussing flexible working options.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All positions are subject to an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring check from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) and shortlisted candidates will be subject to an online check.

We are committed to ensuring our employees feel valued and appreciated. Because we are a group, we can reward you better than any school could alone, and this includes your employee benefits. Here is some information about the benefits available to United Learning Teaching Staff and Support Staff .

Hartshill is just at the beginning of the next stage of its journey. We will ensure that every Hartshill Academy pupil has the opportunity to develop their HART values, their knowledge and their understanding of their subjects but also of all the wonderful opportunities available to them. We want every pupil to have the knowledge, skills and qualifications to be able to make informed decisions about their future. A future where they can be confident and successful individuals who in turn can make a positive contribution to their community and the lives of those around them.
