About you
We are looking for an enthusiastic, dynamic and well-qualified specialist graduate who can teach Art and Graphic Design throughout Key Stages 3 and 4.
We are looking for someone who is passionate about raising learners’ individual achievements with innovative ideas to build on existing good practice. Alongside being able to demonstrate excellence in teaching and learning, you should be committed to the role of Tutor, supporting a group of 15/16 students who benefit from a daily tutorial session.

About the Education Service
La Mare de Carteret High School currently operates as part of the Guernsey Federation of Secondary Schools which includes St Sampson’s, Les Beaucamps and Guernsey Grammar School and Sixth Form, alongside St Anne’s School in Alderney. Secondary and Post-16 education is undergoing a period of exciting change on the Island which includes a planned new structure with one 11-18 all ability school on two sites.
The drivers in Secondary phase education for this significant transformation are: equality of educational experience and outcomes, equality of opportunity and access, and efficient and effective use of resources.
Employed by the States of Guernsey and based at La Mare de Carteret High School, you will be required to maximise opportunities for collaborative working, teaching and learning across Key Stages and shared professional development across schools. There is an expectation that you will engage in cross-school collaboration which may require working on more than one site to meet the needs of the Education Service. The transition plans for the new structure may also mean you will work from an alternative site.
Benefits
This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly regarded and thriving Art and Technology department where the success rate in external examinations is consistently high. The department is well-resourced with a dedicated team of specialist teachers.
This post carries a five-year employment permit. If appointed, you can expect to:
- Benefit from the stunning scenery and enviable quality of life;

- Be part of a leading development of Art and Graphic Design in education and be allocated a personal laptop;
