Teacher of English

A full time, well-qualified and creative Teacher of English is required for January 2025.

We are looking for an engaging teacher to support the continuing success of our English faculty. The faculty offers a vibrant English programme including GCSE and A levels in English literature and English language and a variety of English co-curricular activities.

Applicants will be expected to demonstrate an innovative and effective teaching style with excellent subject knowledge. A good English honours degree is required. The role would suit either an experienced teacher looking for a new challenge or an ECT or UQT for whom first class support will be given. We welcome applications from both the independent and maintained sector.

A willingness to contribute to the co-curricular and pastoral life of the school is essential. In return you can expect all the benefits of a thriving independent school: a competitive and progressive salary, pension, professional development, laptop, cycle scheme, lunches in term time and on-site parking.

We are an equal opportunities employer and are seeking applications from suitable candidates from all backgrounds. We are fully committed to creating and sustaining a positive and supportive working environment free from discrimination where staff feel valued and respected. We value individuality and diversity and believe in equal opportunity for everyone, irrespective of age, disability, gender identity, marriage or civil partnership, pregnancy or maternity, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation or socio-economic background.

Claremont Fan Court School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS). All staff at the school share responsibility for safeguarding and you will be required to undergo appropriate safeguarding training.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the school is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
