Job overview
We are looking for a well-qualified, inspiring and dynamic teacher with proven management experience who has the creative vision to lead and take forward a strong and successful Engineering, Enterprise and Technology Department. This vacancy has arisen due to the current post holder securing an Academic Deputy Headship at an HMC school after six years at College.
The mandate of the department is to give all our girls a positive experience of Engineering through project-based learning and to give them an experiential understanding of key Engineering principles and to equip them with practical skills which will allow them to express their technical creativity effectively. Our hope is to equip the next generation of entrepreneurs, designers, engineers, technologists and innovators.
The successful candidate will be an experienced, inspiring and imaginative specialist of high calibre who will work with enthusiasm and commitment to get the best from our students in ways that are intellectually demanding, technically creative and stimulating.
All teachers are expected to contribute to the rich co-curricular life of the College, but there are no residential duties.
As one of the world’s leading schools, and with a strong pioneering heritage, our aim is to embody excellence, independence and empowerment in the education of young women. You will join a friendly and supportive community of committed professionals who believe that girls are at the heart of all we do. We are ambitious for their futures, collectively and individually, and have been so for over 165 years.
Applications are welcome from teachers in the independent or maintained sector, those without prior teaching experience with technical industrial experience or those with a background in academic research.

"Girls enrolling in College are highly likely to see in the turn of the next century, living lives of unprecedented longevity. Their world will be full of promise, choice and possibility on a scale that has not been true for any generation of women that has preceded them.
“Leading this energetic, talented and caring community of staff and pupils is an extraordinary privilege. We have a unique and inspiring pioneering heritage which we cherish, and we have a very exciting future. We would love you to be a part of it.”
Eve Jardine-Young, Principal
College first opened its doors in February 1854 with the purpose of providing girls with a thorough academic education. We have remained committed to that pioneering goal, while adapting to a complex and changing world. Today we are one of the largest school communities of boarding and day girls in Europe, allowing us to provide a rich holistic curriculum. Approximately 850 pupils from 40 countries across the world benefit from the knowledge and expertise gained over the last 160 years of putting girls first.
Our motivated and able pupils genuinely want to learn, and consistently achieve results at the very highest level in GCSE, A Level, Pre-U and IB examinations. For the teachers who can nurture such achievement, we offer excellent resources, professional support and personal development. In addition, we have a dedicated team that manages evening and weekend boarding duties, so you can focus on what you do best: inspiring your classes.
You can also look forward to a wonderful working environment right at the heart of Cheltenham. Described as the cultural centre of the Cotswolds, this elegant and thriving town offers excellent transport links to the South West or Midlands, with the M5 in easy reach. London can be reached in two hours, and Cheltenham’s mainline rail station provides rapid and frequent connections with the rest of the UK.
We believe that there are few better places to live and work – and no better setting within which ambitious teachers can make a positive impact on their pupils’ lives.
