English Teacher

This would ideally be a full time position, but could suit a part time position as well. We would be willing to discuss options for both a temporary position as a more permanent role.

We are looking for a well-qualified, dynamic, innovative and forward-thinking teacher to maintain the reputation for excellence in the English Department. The successful candidate must be an outstanding classroom practitioner and should be passionate about English. He or she should be someone who is inspirational to children both in and out of the classroom. Previous experience of preparing pupils for Common Entrance exams in Year 8 is desirable, but not essential. Applicants should have high expectations of pupil achievement and behaviour, excellent organisational and time-management skills.

The successful candidate will be an excellent role model for pupils, and will set high standards of smartness, manners and general demeanour. Candidates for this post are likely to have a good university degree with a recognised teaching qualification, such as a PGCE. The ability to teach games would be a distinct advantage, but is not essential.

Salary will be at the appropriate point on the Sandroyd pay scale which is above the national average and will reflect the experience and expertise of the applicant.

The completed application form and your letter of application, should be sent as soon as possible to Mrs R Hill, Assistant Bursar at Sandroyd School, Rushmore Park, Tollard Royal, Salisbury, Wiltshire. SP5 5QD or by email to rhill@Sandroyd.com.

The closing date is midday on Thursday 19th October. Interviews will be held at Sandroyd on the morning of Wednesday 1st November 2017.
