• Salary:£38,663-£65,199 per annum and a generous remuneration for the Head of Politics role
• Department:Department of Politics
• Reporting to:Assistant Head (Director of Studies)
• Location:Highgate, North London
• Start:September 2026
• Closing Date:4 February 2026 at 8:00 am

Highgate is looking for an enthusiastic and inspiring Head of Politics, starting in September 2026. The position would suit an experienced teacher.

Applicants should have an undergraduate degree in Politics, or a related degree such as PPE, International Relations, etc. from a university with an excellent reputation for Politics. Applicants should be experienced Sixth Form teachers who demonstrate a profound and continuing academic interest in their subject and an enthusiasm for sharing this passion with pupils and colleagues. The successful candidate will have excellent managerial instincts, a commitment to professional development, an enthusiasm for learning, and the ability to reflect deeply on their practice.

The successful applicant will lead an experienced department of five teachers who regularly teach up to 100 pupils across the Sixth Form, making Politics one of the most popular subjects at A Level. The pupils currently follow the Edexcel specification, which covers UK Politics, Political ideologies, and US Politics. Outcomes in A-Level Politics are excellent, and well above national averages: in 2025, our Politics cohort of 28 achieved 57% A*/A. A majority of these pupils applied for Politics or a Politics related degree at university. Pupils regularly take up places at Oxford and Cambridge, as well as at overseas universities.

The Politics department runs a weekly programme of extension classes to Year 12 pupils (often collaborating with other Sixth Form departments) in the Lent term, introducing pupils to topics outside the scope of the A-level curriculum. This programme continues in Year 13 as a more bespoke mentoring programme for all Sixth Formers who intend to pursue Politics, or a related discipline, at university.

Colleagues in the department also have a significant co-curricular footprint, including the popular current affairs focused Masaryk Society (which attracts over 30 pupils from all years every week), the Lower School Politics Society, the annual pupil-led publication The Arbiter and running mock elections. New for 2026, colleagues in the Politics department will teach all Year 10 pupils an in-house 24-lesson course on Political Literacy.

The department is well equipped and resourced, with its own classrooms and dedicated office, which is shared with colleagues in the Economics and History of Art departments. Colleagues in this office are highly collaborative. All classrooms have large digital screens which connect wirelessly to teachers’ MS Surface devices. Members of the Politics Department can and do teach History or Economics, though the ability to teach another subject is neither a requirement, nor a recommendation, for this post.

Person Specification

Highgate School seeks to appoint teachers who will have, in addition to the professional qualities outlined below, the following proven personal qualities, or the potential to develop them. At interview, candidates will have the opportunity to demonstrate or give an account of these attributes.

• Profound and continuing interest in the academic subject/s to be taught.
• The depth of knowledge and agility of mind to allow flexibility in lessons, adapting delivery as appropriate in the light of pupils’ responses.
• Empathy with pupils across the age and ability spectrum at Highgate and the ability to implement a range of teaching strategies to cater for each individual pupil.
• Capacity to deal sensitively with problems raised by pupils, in line with Highgate’s pastoral policies and sanctions system, working in partnership with Highgate’s designated staff i/c pastoral care.
• Ability to create effective rapport and a sound relationship with pupils, earning their respect and trust but maintaining proper professional boundaries by not deliberately courting popularity or friendship.
• Dynamism and enthusiasm to contribute broadly to the life of a busy co- educational independent day school.
• Willingness to contribute to the extensive range of activities provided for pupils and to support them in their co-curricular pursuits.
• Capacity for industry and initiative in both independent work and as p...

 The Charity

 The Youth Adventure Trust is a youth development charity working with vulnerable young people
 aged 11 to 16 years old from Wiltshire, Swindon and Somerset.

 Our outdoor activity based YAT Adventure Programme enables young people to challenge
 themselves, experience success, learn to go beyond their own expectations and grow in confidence.
 Through a series of residential camps and day activities they are able to build resilience, self esteem
 and develop social and life skills. The YAT Resilience Programme works to the same outcomes
 through a year long programme of monthly activities, home-based challenges and reflective
 practice. Our Mentoring Programme works with those young people in need of some additional
 individualised support at the end of our other programmes. The Trust’s Bursary Programme is open
 to all those young people who have completed an initial programme, in order to assist their next
 steps into further activities. Our aim is to make a lasting improvement to the lives of vulnerable
 young people. All our services are provided completely free of charge to the young people who are
 nominated by schools and other youth organisations to take part.

 The continued success of the fundraising team is more important than ever as we plan to increase
 our capacity and support more young people through our programmes. This is an exciting time to
 join a small charity with big ambitions and a friendly, supportive team who are committed to helping
 vulnerable young people achieve their potential.

 The Role

 Do you love spending time in the outdoors? Are you a highly-organised people-person who thrives
 on the excitement of event management? If you want to deliver an in-house challenge events
 portfolio for a charity which is rooted in outdoor adventure, then this is the job for you!

 This is a fantastic opportunity to deliver and develop our programme of challenge events, build
 meaningful relationships with new and existing supporters and help us grow this important income
 stream. You will work on bespoke corporate team-building challenges, high-energy industry
 networking events like the Hike Bike Paddle for the sports and outdoor sector and the Housebuilders
 Challenge, and our popular open events like the Wiltshire 3 Peaks Challenge and the Somerset Cycle.
 Challenge events are a fantastic way to engage supporters with our work, giving them the
 opportunity to step outside their comfort zones, embrace the outdoors and achieve things they
 never thought possible - similar to our work with the young people on our programmes.

 The Challenge Events Fundraiser role is a varied position which would be perfect for somebody who
 has event management experience. You will be responsible for the full event cycle, from the initial
 planning, participant recruitment and stewardship to on the day event delivery and post event
 follow ups. You will be somebody who can spot opportunities, take on a project and run with it.
 You’ll be an excellent communicator, happy to pick up the phone to chat to event participants,
 deliver pre-event webinars or create engaging participant emails. You’re self-motivated, well
 organised, able to multi-task, a  strong administrator,  a fantastic team player, have excellent
 interpersonal skills and enjoy being outdoors.

 You will work closely with the Corporate Partnership Manager who is highly experienced in
 delivering our challenge events, but needs time to develop new corporate partnerships. There will
 be plenty of opportunity to meet the young people on our programmes, visiting camps and taking
 part in activities. This will help you really understand the life-changing difference the Youth
 Adventure Trust makes and enable you to show our incredible fundraisers the tangible impact of
 their support.

build with our participants and corporate partners are more important than ever. This is where you
come in.

As our Challenge Events Manager, you'll be the driving force behind our exciting challenge events
portfolio.  You'll work on bespoke corporate team-building challenges, high-energy industry
networking events like the Hike Bike Paddle for the sports and outdoor sector and the Housebuilders
Challenge, and our popular open events like the Wiltshire 3 Peaks Challenge and the Somerset Cycle.

Challenge events not only enable people to raise amazing sums for the charity, but are also a
fantastic way to engage supporters with our work, giving them the opportunity to step outside their
comfort zones, embrace the outdoors and achieve things they never thought possible - similar to
our work with the young people on our programmes.

The Challenge Events Manager role is a varied position which would be perfect for somebody who
has event management experience. You will be responsible for the full event cycle, from the initial
planning, participant recruitment and stewardship to on the day event delivery and post event
follow ups. You will be somebody who can spot opportunities, take on a project and run with it.
You’ll be an excellent communicator, happy to pick up the phone to chat to event participants,
deliver pre-event webinars or create engaging participant emails. You’re self-motivated, well
organised, able to multi-task, a strong administrator, a fantastic team player, have excellent
2

interpersonal skills and enjoy being outdoors.  You should also have some fundraising experience,
ideally in a paid capacity but in a voluntary capacity would also be considered.

You'll work closely with the Corporate Partnership Manager, who is highly experienced in delivering
our challenge events, but needs time to develop new corporate partnerships which is why we have
created this new role. You'll also line-manage our Events Fundraising Officer who plays a key support
role on the events.  You must live in or near the South West as there will be a semi-regular
requirement to attend in person staff meetings, visit programmes and join event planning sessions.

About You

You’re a people-person, self-motivated and highly organised. You are as comfortable managing a
budget and a CRM database as you are standing on a mountain side in your waterproofs! You’ll
have:

●  Event Expertise: A proven track record in delivering successful fundraising or challenge

events.

●  Fundraising Experience: You might be an existing fundraiser or somebody who has taken on

fundraising activities in a voluntary capacity. You will need to be able to relate to the
challenge participants and guide them on how to reach their fundraising targets.

●  Agility: The ability to think on your feet and adapt plans dynamically when situations change

on the ground.

●  Leadership Skills: Experience managing staff or volunteers and the ability to motivate a team.
●  A Passion for Adventure: A genuine love for the outdoors, comfortable in wellies and

waterproofs with an understanding of 'the power of the outdoors'.

The Charity

At the Youth Adventure Trust, we use outdoor adventure to empower vulnerable young people from
Swindon, Wiltshire and Somerset to fulfil their potential and lead positive lives in the future. We
work with them to build resilience, develop confidence and learn skills that will last a lifetime,
helping them to face the challenges in their lives. Dedicated support, guidance and mentoring from
our staff and volunteers ensures young people receive the maximum benefit from our long-term
intervention. Our aim is to make a lasting improvement to the lives of vulnerable young people. All
