About this post:
We are looking to appoint a dynamic and enthusiastic English teacher. This post would suit a graduate seeking to obtain Qualified Teacher Status, a Newly Qualified Teacher, or an experienced teacher. The successful candidate will teach, initially, from Year 7 to 11 and may be asked to support our Sixth Form GCSE and A Level provision. The candidate should be an adaptable and self-reflective professional who is capable of working collaboratively within a supportive team. Above all, the successful candidate will love the study of English in all its many forms, and be able to communicate that passion to his or her pupils.
In addition to the commitments of the teaching timetable, the post-holder will be a form-tutor within a year-group team, supported and led by a Head of Year. They will also be required to lead an extra-curricular after-school activity on one afternoon a week from 4.30pm until 5.30pm during term-time. The post-holder will also participate in the supervision-duty programme, responsible within a team of staff allocated to duties at lunch and break-times, and other times as is necessary. The writing of reports and completion of other documentation, and the attendance at parent consultation evenings is required.
A comprehensive induction programme is offered, and ongoing professional development is supported through INSET days and training opportunities.
More House School does offer a teacher training package to appropriate employees. Where applicable, such an employee would receive close mentoring and support during their first year in the school; after the first year of employment the school will pay for the unqualified teacher to complete their PGCE with Buckingham University, allowing them to progress to the Newly Qualified Teacher programme within the school afterwards.
The above list of duties is not exhaustive, and the post-holder may be required to perform such other duties as may be, from time to time, deemed necessary by the Headmaster. This is a non-residential post.
Relationships:
· The post-holder is responsible to the Headmaster in all matters, is supported by and reports to the Head of English in respect of academic matters, and the Head of Year in respect of pastoral matters.
· The position includes the normal duties of form-tutor.
· The successful applicant must also interact effectively on a professional level with colleagues, and seek to establish and maintain productive relationships with all.
Hours:
8.20am until 4.30pm four days a week during term-time and 8.20am until 5.30pm one day a week during term-time. Attendance at school events outside these hours from time to time, as well as a few INSET days towards the beginning or end of school holidays.
Salary:
According to experience.

About More House School
Outstanding day and boarding school for boy's aged 8-18 who struggle to thrive in a mainstream setting due to speech, language or communication issues.
Considered a national center of excellence, and the largest school of its kind in the UK.
Our aim is to help each boy who joins us, achieve, in the widest possible sense, more than he, or his parents, ever expected. This is accomplished by knowing a great deal about each student – his strengths as well as his difficulties. For his strengths, he must first be helped to identify them and, eventually, change them into a marketable form. His difficulties will not be static. We are mindful that we must be alert to changes caused by a student's own development, those of society and by the curriculum and make sure that each of our students is equipped to meet them.
