Job overview
A well-qualified, enthusiastic and inspirational teacher is sought for the role of Teacher in Charge of Psychology at Walthamstow Hall, with the potential to become Head of Psychology if the department gains additional members of staff in the future. This is a new subject at the School, but the role will sit within our well-organised and high-achieving Science department. Applicants should be able to teach Psychology at A Level, including preparation for university and Oxbridge entrance. The position would suit an ambitious teacher who would like to establish and lead the subject within our successful School. This is a part-time post, but the ability to teach any additional subjects at any level would be welcomed, if a suitable candidate wishes to increase their timetable.
About Walthamstow Hall Senior School
Introduction
Thank you for your interest in working at Walthamstow Hall. We educate girls with academic potential to lead confident, challenging and fulfilling lives in the 21st century.
School Ethos
We believe in a true understanding of the root meaning of the word education, from the Latin verb educo: I lead forth, I raise up. Not, ‘I cram full of facts or I make to jump through hoops’. At Walthamstow Hall, pupils will discover that learning is an active process which enables them to get personally involved, not one which just passively happens to them.
We offer pupils an environment based on trust, security and friendship, where they have the confidence to try to be their best. And by confidence we don’t mean brash or arrogant. We mean that, whether innately ebullient, or whether quite shy, Wally girls are characterised by a quiet assurance that comes from knowing who they are and, moreover, that they are valued for who they are, by us and by each other. This, we believe, is the best preparation for whatever life has in store.
School Details
There are approximately 580 pupils in the School 3 - 18, of which 442 are currently at Senior School. The Junior School (2 - 11 years) is on a separate site. The majority of girls from our Junior School join us at 11+, along with pupils from other feeder Schools locally. We also have entry at 13+ and 16+, and retention into Sixth Form is strong.

- Enhanced salary scale based on DfE scales
- Fees concession for daughters. The School has a separate fees concession arrangement with Tonbridge School for sons of staff (13-18 years) and at Prep level with the New Beacon School for sons of teaching staff

- Refreshments/meals during term time
- Cycle to Work Scheme
