Job overview
We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified, enthusiastic, talented and flexible colleague to teach EAL throughout the School from the end of August 2020. The successful candidate should have an interest in language and linguistics and have relevant experience of teaching EAL across the curriculum to FCE/IGCSE/IELTS Level. Applicants will:
• have a degree and be CELTA qualified (or equivalent qualification) with experience in teaching teenagers in this field
• have high standard of professionalism
• be able to work at a fast pace and cope efficiently with record keeping other administrative duties as well as teaching
• Teachers with a DELTA (or equivalent qualification) and experience at teaching international examinations such as FCE and IELTS are particularly welcome to apply.
The post requires excellent interpersonal and communication skills and candidates should expect to work with students on an individual and group basis in order to support their learning. The opportunity to teach in other subject areas may be possible.
Alongside teaching a standard timetable allocation, you’ll play an active role in the extra-curricular life of the school too. That means contributing to sharing good practice and playing your part in aspects of school life like coaching games and taking pupils on trips.
A strong commitment to the pastoral and house system is also anticipated.

Our location and facilities
The School lies in a secluded wooded valley, halfway between the towns of Blandford and Dorchester. It occupies the site of a former Benedictine Monastery, founded over 1,000 years ago. The two remaining Monastery buildings are used daily by the School – the Abbey for regular services and musical performances and the Abbot’s Hall as our dining hall.
Our expansive natural surroundings mean the School boasts a large farm and stables used for vocational learning, a nine-hole golf course, impressive grass pitches for a variety of sports, and plenty of inspiring outdoor space to run lessons, be active, or to relax.
Other buildings and facilities are on par with much larger schools, due to the wide variety of subjects on offer at the school. They include classrooms, laboratories and workshops to teach a full spectrum of academic and vocational subjects, a large library in a converted ballroom, specialist rooms for teaching Creative Media, Art, Fashion Design and Music courses, and a 370-seat theatre. Indoor sports facilities include a 25-metre swimming pool, golf simulator, gymnasium and sports hall. Staff are able to use these facilities as a benefit of working at the School.
Our management structure and ethos
The School is run by the Head, supported by a Senior Deputy Head and three Deputy Heads responsible for the Academic, Co-Curricular and Pastoral elements of the School. We have an overall staff of around 120 people, some of whom work flexibly to meet the needs of the school at different times of the year. We are deliberately small, with around 225 pupils.
All staff appointed are expected to contribute to the pastoral and nurturing ethos of the school, supporting a full and busy sports and activities programme. All candidates for any roles are encouraged to celebrate their conventional, and unconventional, interests on their application. Appointments will be made subject to a full DBS check and the receipt of satisfactory references.
