Job overview

We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified, enthusiastic and inspirational teacher of Land Based Studies, with a specific passion and knowledge in Countryside Management, for the start of the Michaelmas Term 2021. The Land Based Studies Department has a strong record of success and fully utilises the school's rural location and facilities to deliver a range of BTEC courses in Countryside Management, as well as a thriving Farm Club and the provision of land-based activities such as clay pigeon shooting, polo and horse riding.

To succeed, you will need a good level Degree in Countryside Management, Land Management or Agriculture or a related subject.  We would particularly welcome applications from candidates with an interest and knowledge in wildlife ecology and plant and soil science. Experience teaching Level 2 and Level 3 BTECs (GCSE and A-Level equivalent respectively) is desirable, while previous involvement in extra-curricular activities (professional, amateur or voluntary) is essential. Experience of working in the land based sector would be desirable.  You must be comfortable working within a traditional classroom and equally happy working with our pupils on our school farm or in the surrounding countryside in all weathers!  

Salary is according to Milton Abbey’s own scale and will depend upon qualifications and experience. This is a Part Time post.

We offer a genuinely different learning experience to our students, with the widest range of vocational courses in the independent sector, and a focus on the development of the whole person, not just examination results. More than half of our students have identified learning challenges and we promote opportunities for them to ‘learn differently’ and successfully here.

For additional information visit our website, or call 01258 880484 and to apply send applications to hr@miltonabbey.co.uk. The application deadline is 12 noon on Monday 24th May.

Milton Abbey School is committed to safe guarding and promoting the welfare of children.  The appointment will be the subject of an enhanced disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service.

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.
