Teacher of Geography

Merchant Taylors, Liverpool has a long and distinguished history as a leading school in the region. Based on over four hundred years of tradition, we aspire to be a forward-thinking and progressive centre of learning.

We are seeking to recruit an inspirational and enthusiastic Teacher of Geography to start employment in September 2021. The post would suit a newly qualified teacher or an experienced teacher. The role involves teaching Geography from Key Stage 3 to A Level; a human Geography specialism would be an advantage but is not a necessity. The successful candidate will be a well-qualified and enthusiastic practitioner who will exhibit passion for their subject.

The Geography department at Merchant Taylors’ has a history of excellence and we have a large uptake at GCSE and A level. We are particularly proud of the high proportion of our students that go on to study Geography at university, including Cambridge University.

The successful candidate will be knowledgeable, energetic and dedicated to the holistic approach to learning we pride ourselves on at Merchant Taylors’. The individual should thus be prepared to contribute fully towards the School’s extracurricular and co-curricular programmes.

We want you to be excellent at what you do because we will expect superb teaching at all levels of the school; we therefore want to help you to develop to become an outstanding practitioner both in and outside the classroom. We aspire to identify and encourage the strengths of each and every student we teach, and for this reason we expect staff to be able to develop both an academic and pastoral relationship with their students.

We are confident that the learning environment and the benefits of working in one of the best independent schools in the North will be a truly engaging experience.

We will value and support your contribution to School life and in return provide you with excellent rewards:

• Working as part of a committed and talented team

• Competitive salary

• Membership of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme

• Extended holiday periods (term time is 36 weeks)

• Children of the successful candidate will be eligible for the Schools’ discount tuition fee

• Access to the Schools’ fitness suite

• Support for your continuous professional development

• Provision of car parking within the School grounds

• Free lunch and refreshments during the school day

• Employee assistance programme providing a 24-hour counselling and advice line
