SEN Humanities Lead

Permanent Full-Time
Location: R.E.A.L Independent Schools - Mansfield
Hours: 40 per week
At REAL education we work with children and young people aged 7 to 19, providing creative education solutions to those who may be “lost to learning” or “hard to place” and we create a continuum of excellence in education that extends beyond the school gate, offering personalised pathways for those who may struggle in a mainstream setting.
Humanities Lead – Inspire, Elevate, Transform Learning
We're looking for an ambitious Humanities Lead to shape an exciting vision for all learners across all key stages and drive high‑quality teaching across our organisation.
Here, learning is truly personalised - delivered through one‑to‑one sessions, small group work and larger vocational settings - and you'll play a central role in ensuring every young person thrives.
As our Humanities specialist, you'll lead a diverse curriculum, champion excellent teaching and guide colleagues through targeted support, coaching and CPD. You'll work closely with school leaders to conduct quality assurance activities, identify strengths and areas for development, and drive meaningful improvements that raise outcomes for all learners.
This hybrid role gives you the best of both worlds: time in the classroom teaching groups, plus dedicated weekly release time to focus on leadership responsibilities.
You'll collaborate with Learning Managers to track progress, shape interventions and personalise learning, while ensuring safeguarding, health and safety and learner information processes are consistently upheld.
You won't be doing this alone — you'll receive bespoke support from our Heads of Quality of Education and have opportunities to network with Curriculum Leads across the organisation, sharing ideas and strengthening practice together.
