Full Job Description

Due to the growth of our Sixth Form, we are seeking an engaging and passionate teacher to deliver Sociology and/or Politics to highly motivated girls in Key Stage 5. Both subjects are popular A Level options.

The successful candidate should have the capability to teach A level, creating challenging and thought-provoking lessons, with an emphasis on creativity and collaboration.

The ability to offer a second subject for KS3, such as a Humanities subject, or another Social Science at KS5 (such as Psychology, Business or Economics) would be an advantage. Please ensure that you state any additional subjects that you can offer in your application.

This role would be suited to an ECT, who is looking to join a supportive department and faculty with superb ECT provision for professional development.

The role would also suit an experienced teacher.

Applications will be considered in the order in which they are received, and we reserve the right to close this vacancy early, should a suitable applicant be found.
