We are looking to recruit an Advocate to work 15 hours per week that will provide independent and confidential advocacy to children and young people who are entitled to or are receiving support from a local authority in the Gwent region.

You will work with children and young people to empower them to express their wishes and feelings in decisions that affect their lives to ensure that their voices are heard.

Your role is to listen to them, hear how they feel and what it is they want and support them by promoting their understanding of outcomes and options that are available to them so they can make informed decisions whilst ensuring that their legal rights are upheld and that they are treated fairly.

You will do this by:

• Attending decision making meetings with the young person and ensuring that others know how the young person is feeling and what it is they want.
• Providing impartial information to the young person.

Teacher of Classics

• Job Summary
• Brighton College is seeking to appoint a Teacher of Classics to start in August 2026. The Department

  Pupils at Brighton College have a great passion for languages and the ancient world, making Classics a thriving and vibrant department. The department currently consists of 5 full time members of staff and Latin is taught as an optional language throughout Years 7, 8 and 9. Almost 100 pupils take the subject at GCSE, 25 of whom are also taking Greek in our combined 'Gratin' course. Greek is initially introduced as an after-school enrichment activity in Year 9, and there are currently 20 pupils taking A-level Latin across the two years of the Sixth Form. At present, we follow the OCR syllabus for both GCSE and A-level.

  Academic results are consistently outstanding; in recent years, we have regularly achieved 100% grade 9-7 at GCSE in both Latin and Greek, and 100% A*-A at A-level, again in both Latin and Greek. The department also has a dedicated university and Oxbridge preparation programme, with much recent interest and success in this area. The department currently offers a bi-annual trip, open to pupils in Year 10 and above, to either Italy, Greece or Sicily, as well as an annual L6th Reading Week Trip, either to Rome or the South of France. We aim to make full use of Brighton's cultural opportunities, running theatre trips largely aimed at Sixth Form to see shows such as Elecktra and Medea Electronica.

  Role Specification

  The successful candidate will be expected to teach Classics across the curriculum, ideally offering both Latin and Greek from Year 7 through to A-level. An ability to contribute towards the department’s extension programme, including a willingness to support pupils with applications to leading universities (including Oxford and Cambridge), will be an advantage.

  All teachers within the department are expected to assist in the development of schemes of work, as well as in the creation of teaching resources and the compilation of content for our Microsoft OneNote Notebooks and SharePoint. While an ability to teach Classical Greek to GCSE and beyond would be a preference, it is not essential for a successful application.

  Additionally, all teachers at Brighton College are expected to contribute to the school’s pastoral system, generally as a tutor in one of our 16 houses (of which six are boarding houses and ten are day).

  There is also an expectation that all teachers will contribute to the cocurricular life of the school, through the extensive Games programme, and/or through the leadership of one of over 100 school societies.

  Candidates are encouraged to point to interests and enthusiasms as part of their application. All staff have the opportunity to contribute to our Masterclass programme; this is a series of weekly lessons designed to celebrate the enjoyment of learning, focusing on an area of personal academic or cultural interest. These have included subjects such as Magical Realism, Cuisine and Culture and Great Debates in History.

  All teachers joining Brighton will have the benefit of guidance by an experienced mentor, whose role it will be to provide support during their probationary period. Thereafter, all teachers are expected and supported to participate in continuous professional development, throughout their time at the College.
