Job Opportunities
Details of all job vacancies at NHGS will be posted below together with all relevant information and downloadable forms. Thank you for your interest in working with us.
Important information for all job opportunities.
The Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Successful applicants will need to undertake a DBS enhanced clearance, including checks with past employers.
All posts involving direct contact with vulnerable people are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. However, amendments to the Exceptions Order 1975 (2013) provide that certain spent convictions and cautions are 'protected'. These are not subject to disclosure to employers and cannot be taken into account. Guidance and criteria on the filtering of these cautions and convictions can be found on the Disclosure and Barring Service website or at Unlock - http://hub.unlock.org.uk/contact/
Shortlisted candidates will be asked to provide details of all unspent convictions and those that would not be filtered, prior to the date of the interview. You may be asked for further information about your criminal history during the recruitment process. If your application is successful, this self-disclosure information will be checked against information from the Disclosure and Barring Service before your appointment is confirmed.
North Halifax Grammar School knows that diversity fosters creativity and innovation. We are committed to equality of opportunity, to being fair and inclusive, and to being a place where all belong.
We therefore encourage applications from all eligible candidates, including those who are likely to be underrepresented in the NHGS workforce. These include people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds, disabled people, LGBTQI+ people
Our Vision
NHGS is the school that everyone wishes they went to: where enthusiasm is infectious and excellence is standard; where co-operation is at the heart of all we do, where everyone strives to achieve their goals and is mindful of the right ways to do so.
We equip our students with the knowledge, skills and understanding to navigate life with confidence and set courses of their own choosing. Together, we develop the whole person by:
Living to Learn - Learning to Live
In November 2023 we were graded by Ofsted as Good overall with an Outstanding Sixth Form. Of particular note was the frequent use of the word ‘joy’ by the inspectors to describe the experience of being in our school
If you share our vision, we’d love to hear from you.
As an employee at NHGS you will be part of the West Yorkshire Pension Scheme (for associate staff) and Teachers Pension (for teaching staff) for which the Academy pays a substantial contribution into on your behalf for your retirement.
