Job overview
Are you passionate about teaching English? Are you a fantastic role model for our students? Do you have the drive and commitment to enhance our successful department? If you can truthfully answer ‘yes’ to these questions then you may be the person for us. As an outstanding school, we are looking for an outstanding teacher who has a genuine and infectious passion for the subject and will want to make a real difference to students’ enjoyment and education outcomes in English.
We are currently seeking an experienced and ambitious English teacher for September 2018 (although an earlier appointment for Whit will be considered). For the right candidate we are offering a highly competitive salary + TLR or Leadership Scale, with the opportunity to become Assistant Curriculum Leader and/or Specialist Leader of Education.
We have an excellent record of student achievement within the subject and as a girls’ school with a mixed Sixth Form we are looking to further improve our English department with an enthusiastic teacher to help inspire our students at all key stages.
The right candidate will be forward-thinking, highly motivated and have the right experience to help bring fresh ideas to further improve the already successful department. It will be expected that they contribute to the development of less experienced staff and lead extra-curricular activities within the department and/or wider school.
The position has arisen due to the promotion of an existing member of staff and our pursuit of National Teaching School status.
We offer a wealth of career opportunities for more experienced teachers as well as a full support programme for NQTs. A TLR level 2 and/or Lead Teacher status is available for a candidate with exceptional experience who could develop teaching and learning and lead a programme of extra-curricular activities that will inspire the next generation.
If you are a highly motivated teacher and leader or potential leader, we hope to hear from you.

Closing date: Midday on Monday, 26 February 2018.
