Year 2 Form Teacher (job share)

This is an exciting opportunity to join the teaching staff at one of the most inspiring prep schools in the country. Yes, our 11th century manor house on the banks of the River Arun with stunning views of Amberley Castle and the South Downs makes for a wonderful working environment, but 'DH', as we are known, is much more than this. Visitors routinely comment on the warm, friendly atmosphere; this reflects the culture of the school, one that fosters confidence but not arrogance in the children. We are ambitious for them, but DH is more of a ‘greenhouse’ than a ‘hothouse’. As a recent Tatler review identified: “this is a school that really does empower.” For more information about the school please visit our web-site – www.dorsethouseschool.com.

We are seeking a qualified, professional, enthusiastic and talented Teacher from September. If you are able to show initiative and have a committed and flexible approach, with the ability to relate to and engage with children we would be thrilled to hear from you. The successful candidate will be expected to take part in the wider life of the school. 

Dorset House is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and we expect all staff and volunteers at the school to share this commitment. The successful applicant will therefore be required to undergo vetting checks, including an enhanced disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service, before any offer of employment is confirmed.
