Teacher of English

Concord College is England’s premier co-educational boarding school set in the heart of the Shropshire countryside with 600 students aged 13-19.  Historic buildings sit alongside our state-of-the-art facilities which include areas providing extra-curricular activities, sport and recreation.  We are truly international with upwards of 40 nationalities represented, which creates a wonderfully diverse community.

Academic achievement at Concord College is exceptional.  During 2018, students achieved 87% 7-9 (A*/A) at GCSE and 81% A*/A at A level.  We are also delighted that 111 students have been offered places at Oxford and Cambridge over the last five years.  

We wish to appoint a well-qualified and enthusiastic Teacher of English from September 2019.

The successful candidate will be capable of teaching English at GCSE and A level and the ability to also teach English as a Foreign Language will be an advantage.  A willingness to contribute to the broader life of the college is expected.  Applications from newly qualified teachers will be considered.

We offer a generous remuneration package which includes a salary significantly above Main Scale, a personal tutor allowance, duty payments, free meals, Teachers’ Pensions and private health insurance.

The closing date for applications is Thursday 28 February 2019 at midday. Interviews will be held on Tuesday 12 March 2019.
