Job overview

Are you interested in a career in Teaching?


We are looking for innovative and inspiring graduates, across a variety of subject areas, to become part of our 2023 pioneering Teach Hurst programme.

We are particularly interested in applications from well qualified English, Maths and Science graduates


One key to Hurst’s success as a school is excellent staff. We value all our teachers, and we aim to recruit, train and develop the next generation of individuals who have the enthusiasm, drive and potential to become outstanding teachers.


We will offer you a unique programme of fully funded teacher training, a competitive starting salary and benefits package, together with free on-site accommodation at our impressive Sussex campus, twenty minutes from the city and beaches of Brighton and within easy reach of London by local rail links.

Other benefits include free meals during term time, and access to a wide range of sports and leisure opportunities as part of our Co-curricular programme.

 

The programme provides high quality training as follows:


Year 1: Building classroom experience, knowledge and pedagogy through observation and class teaching on a reduced timetable.


Year 2: A fully funded, in-school, PGCE course provided by Buckingham University. Increased teaching load and further responsibility.


On completion of Year 2 you will gain QTS (qualified teacher status) and progress onto the Early Teacher Career Framework and the Hurst qualified teacher scale with reflective salary increase.


Throughout the ECT period you will continue to be mentored and given the opportunity to take on roles of responsibility and leadership across the college.


Teach Hurst is a highly desirable teacher training programme and we receive a large number of applicants each year. If you are excited by this opportunity we advise you to apply as soon as possible.

More information can be found at Teacher Training with Teach Hurst - our pioneering programme in Sussex (hppc.co.uk)


Applications will be considered as they are received, and the recruitment process will close once outstanding candidates are identified.

The College comprises a Sixth Form,  Senior School, Senior Prep and Junior  Prep with 1,300 pupils in all. Over half the  pupils in the Senior School are boarders  (weekly or flexi). Hurst is a significant  medium-sized enterprise in Mid Sussex  with around 480 employees and an  annual turnover of £35 million pa.  

What particularly strikes visitors to the  College is the vibrant dynamic of our  community. Situated within a 140- acre campus, surrounded by beautiful  countryside, Hurst lies on the border of the  South Downs National Park, close to the  village of Hurstpierpoint in West Sussex.  

This superb location is also just 20  minutes from the city and beaches of  Brighton and Hove, whilst London train  stations can be reached from Hassocks  or Haywards Heath in under an hour.  The central campus is thoughtfully  laid out and planned with zones for the  Academic, Co-Curricular and Pastoral  areas of school life. These all lie at  the centre of a superbly equipped  broader campus. 

Hurst has an excellent academic track  record and the vast majority of pupils  go on to Russell Group universities  including Oxford, Cambridge, the  various London Universities, as well as  large numbers to Exeter, Bristol and  Durham. 

Founded in 1849 by Nathanial Woodard,  Hurst is a Church of England College.  The Christian ethos underpins College  life but we are a diverse community; we  welcome those of other faiths, or no  faith, and pursue an inclusive approach  in all that we do. 

The College is a Co-Sponsor, together  with the Diocese of Chichester, of the  newly formed Hurst Education Trust,  a local Multi Academy Trust. The Trust  currently has four local primary schools,  although it is envisaged it will grow to  over time.
