Teacher of Art

Concord College is England’s premier co-educational boarding school set in the heart of the Shropshire countryside with 600 students aged 13-19.  Historic buildings sit alongside our state-of-the-art facilities which include areas providing extra-curricular activities, sport and recreation. We are truly international with upwards of 40 nationalities represented, which creates a wonderfully diverse community.

Academic achievement at Concord College is exceptional.  During 2018, students achieved 87% 7-9 (A*/A) at GCSE and 81% A*/A at A level. We are also delighted that 111 students have been offered places at Oxford and Cambridge over the last five years.  

We wish to appoint a well-qualified and enthusiastic part-time Teacher of Art (0.4 FTE).

The successful candidate will have a high quality degree with Art as the sole or a major focus.  The role will focus for the most part on the teaching of Year 9 groups and liaising with colleagues to effectively prepare students for GCSE Art and beyond.  The ability to teach a range of specialisms to all levels would be an advantage. A willingness to contribute to the broader life of the College is expected.

We offer a generous remuneration package which includes a salary significantly above Main Scale, duty payments, free meals, Teachers’ Pensions and a pro rata contribution to private health insurance.

The closing date for applications is midday 19 August 2019. Interviews will be held during the week commencing 2 September 2019.
