Teacher of Psychology

Notting Hill & Ealing High School, one of London’s leading independent girls’ day schools, has an exciting opportunity for an exceptional individual to join this thriving and popular department. The successful candidate will teach Psychology up to A Level and university entrance (including Oxbridge).

We are looking for a well-qualified graduate of Psychology with a passion for the subject and excellent subject knowledge, with good organisational and time management skills.

If you are a good communicator who can enthuse and inspire about the teaching of Psychology and the ways in which it can be further developed and encouraged, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Psychology at NHEHS

Psychology at NHEHS is all about developing a love for the subject beyond the realms of the specification. It is a popular subject in the school. Through ‘psychological insights’ lessons, talks from visiting specialists and practical projects, such as visiting real life court cases, students are given the opportunity to explore how their learning in the classroom applies to the real world. The Psychology Department works closely with the Science faculty providing outreach opportunities such as Forensics day and whole school initiatives such as Science week.

Psychology students are encouraged to be autonomous and independent; they run their own Psychology club, invite speakers in and contribute greatly throughout the year to the Science faculty as a whole. Psychology results have been consistently excellent with many of our students going on to read Psychology at university with many securing places on competitive courses.

Teaching at NHEHS

“Teaching here is all about being able to have in-depth conversations with students about your subject and helping to enthuse them with the same passion as you have. Teaching at NHEHS is exactly what I imagined teaching would be like when I got my first teaching job; it’s what teaching should be!”

- Head of Department
