The role involves teaching Drama up to A Level. Applicants will be expected to teach boys and girls and work at any of the Merchant Taylors’ Schools in Crosby, Liverpool.

Competent IT skills are necessary since members of staff are each furnished with a Microsoft Surface Pro for use within and away from school and these can be used in tandem with smartboards in classrooms. 

There is an expectation that you will participate in and contribute to the co-curricular life of the School as a whole.  In return, the School is committed to helping you develop further as a teacher by supporting you with appropriate professional development.

Candidates are strongly encouraged to visit the school website for more information about our thriving school, which offers an exceptionally rich curriculum and strong sense of community www.merchanttaylors.com

• Being aware of the indicators of abuse and neglect

• Ensuring vigilance in recognising changes in behaviour or mood

• Reporting safeguarding concerns in line with the School’s Safeguarding Children and Child Protection Policy

• Attending Safeguarding training and updates as requested by the School

The duties of this role meet the definition of regulated activity relevant to children and an enhanced DBS check with children’s barred list is appropriate.

School Safeguarding Statement

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
