About Crimson Global Academy

Crimson Global Academy (CGA) is a world-leading online school with students in more than 30 countries and a teaching staff drawn predominantly from New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom. Every one of our teachers is a subject expert, and our strong pastoral care network ensures students learn in a safe and inclusive environment.

Students at CGA study at a level that matches their academic competence rather than their age, which means a significant proportion of our cohort is working ahead of their peer group. Combined with curriculum flexibility, cutting-edge technology and the opportunity to accelerate, CGA offers an unusually rich environment for students with the drive to excel. Our academic results speak for themselves.

About the role

As Head of Department, Humanities, you'll lead a team of teachers delivering A-level Humanities to students around the world. You'll set the academic standard, support and develop teachers, oversee curriculum and assessment, and ensure every student gets a consistently excellent experience, whether they're learning in group classes, small groups, or one-to-one.

You'll report to the Principal and teach 12 of 22 periods, with 10 release periods for leadership work.

What you'll do

  • Lead the Humanities department: meetings, learning walks, lesson observations, and professional development

  • Coach and support teachers across all learning modes, including new Da Vinci (1:1) teachers

  • Own curriculum quality and alignment with A-level specifications

  • Oversee internal and external examinations, moderation, and post-exam analysis

  • Monitor student progress and lead interventions where needed

  • Champion strong digital pedagogy across the team

  • Teach Humanities classes yourself, modelling great practice

About you

  • Qualified Humanities teacher with strong A-level experience

  • Proven leadership or middle-leadership experience in an academic setting

  • Confident with digital learning platforms and online teaching

  • Skilled coach who can develop teachers and lift outcomes

  • Data-literate, organised, and able to balance leadership with teaching

  • Excellent communicator with students, parents, and colleagues

    We look forward to your application!
