Teacher of English

Monkton is seeking to appoint a full-time teacher of English from September 2021; an ability to teach Media Studies would be an advantage. The successful applicant will share our vision for fostering a love of lifelong learning, both for students and teachers. This role would suit someone early in their career.

The salary offered is in accordance with the Monkton Combe Teaching Staff Salary Scale.

In addition to teaching an academic timetable, all staff at Monkton are involved with the wider life of a busy boarding-ethos school. Co-curricular activities go far beyond those clubs and societies which are closely connected with a teacher’s academic subject. As such, a full-time teacher will coach or support two terms of sport, or equivalent - eg CCF, drama, community service - have a tutor group, supervise a 2-hour evening work period once a week in a boarding house, and run a co-curricular activity. Applicants should make clear in their application how they would see themselves contributing to school life in these wider ways; applications which focus solely on classroom practice are likely to be less successful.
