Job overview
We are seeking a well-qualified and enthusiastic part time classroom teacher of EAL who is able to deliver engaging and stimulating lessons to the full range of abilities at Sidcot.
Applications are welcome from teachers of all levels of experience, including NQTs, able to teach IGCSE English as a Second Language and IELTS classes.
We anticipate the ongoing part time percentage for this class teaching role to be in the region of 40%, although this is likely to be closer to 60% in the first year. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to supplement their teaching hours with one to one EAL lessons on a separate contract (see One to One EAL Teacher Job Description).
The successful applicant will play a full and active role in contributing to the development and future success of the team. There are a large number of international students at the school, so an awareness of the needs of students, some of whom are learning in a second language, is a significant aspect of the post, especially at Post 16. The ability to work as a member of a supportive team is very important, as is the willingness to continue to develop teaching styles and to regard education as a lifelong learning experience for the teachers as well as the students. The successful candidate would be expected to be proficient in the use of education technology in their lessons.

About Sidcot School
Sidcot School is a mixed, independent, all-through Quaker school and sixth form for pupils aged three to nineteen. It is located in Winscombe, Somerset, in south-west England, and has about 550 students on its roll.
The school can trace its history back to 1699, when it was founded by Quakers. However, it moved to its current site in 1808.
The school is a registered charity, and is administered by its governing body. At least half of these governors must be members of the Religious Society of Friends.
Headmaster

Values and vision
The school is established on strong Quaker values, and this remains a key part of its ethos today. It places a strong emphasis on mutual respect.
Quakers believe “in living life adventurously and letting their lives speak”. In practice, the school says, that means teaching in a way that encourages individual thought, questioning and exploration. The school also aims to ensure that pupils have all the support they need to grow as individuals, and recognise and celebrated their talents.
The school welcomes students of all faiths and none.
