Full time, Permanent Position

The Headmaster of Eltham College is seeking to appoint an inspirational and highly professional teacher to contribute to the development of the DT department at Eltham College.

The Design and Technology department at Eltham College has grown significantly over the last few years whilst maintaining excellent academic results. It is the most popular creative subject in the school with four Year 10 classes and two sets in the Lower Sixth

Eltham College is a highly successful independent day school in south-east London, educating boys and girls aged 7 to 18 across both Junior and Senior Schools. The College has grown considerably over recent years: there are now over 800 students in the Senior School and around 260 pupils in the Junior School and places are heavily oversubscribed. Since 2020, girls have been able to join Years 3 and 7, mirroring the Sixth Form which has been coeducational for over 45 years. The school places an equal emphasis on academic, pastoral and co-curricular excellence and has an outstanding reputation in all three areas as well as for the friendly, unpretentious nature of daily life.

A highly competitive salary is available, together with a clear programme of staff development and opportunities for promotion. Accommodation may also be available.

Application closing date: 8am on Wednesday 15 February

Interviews to take place on Thursday 23 February 2023 (although we may call candidates for interview early in exceptional circumstances)

We welcome applications from all parts of our community as we aspire to attract staff that match the social and cultural diversity of our student intake. Candidates will be assessed against relevant criteria only (i.e. skills, qualifications, abilities, experience).

Suitable candidates may be interviewed before the closing date and Eltham College reserves the right to withdraw the position if an early appointment is made.

Eltham College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. Applicants undergo enhanced child protection screening relevant to the post, including checks with past employers and the DBS.
