Teacher of Sociology

Due to an increase in student numbers we are looking to recruit talented, enthusiastic individuals to contribute to our ongoing success.

At Queen Mary’s College we understand the importance of recruiting skilled and well-qualified staff to maintain excellence in all that we do. We are committed to high-quality, innovative education and student support services and pride ourselves on our welcoming, supportive and friendly environment. We never stand still and our best keeps getting better thanks to the dedication, enthusiasm and commitment of our team.

Situated in 23 acres of leafy grounds, Queen Mary’s College is an inclusive, vibrant and high achieving sixth form college with a fantastic reputation both locally and nationally. Value added data places us in the top 10% of all A- level providers.

Sociology is part of the Social Sciences department which also includes Criminology, Geography, Economics, Law and Psychology. The Social Sciences Department is one of the largest in the College and has had notable success in attracting and retaining students. Sociology (AQA) is a popular course and at present there are over 200 students enrolled on the course. Student success rates in examinations are very good.

Staffed by a very friendly and enthusiastic group of teachers who work closely together under the guidance of the Director of Learning, the Social Sciences department offers a broad range of courses to accommodate our students’ interests.  At present we have three Sociology teachers who also teach across a range of other courses offered by the department. We’re currently looking for a suitably qualified and experienced individual to join our dedicated team. 

The Department has a reputation for being extremely supportive and new staff will always be given every assistance with books, resources and any other help they may need. Staff work closely together to plan schemes of work and share good practice. Links with local schools and employers are very good.

Our priorities are to extend our examination success and to maintain high levels of student satisfaction and achievement. We seek to ensure that we provide students with a high-quality experience of learning that is innovative, interesting and challenging and helps them acquire the skills and knowledge essential for their progression. This is an exciting opportunity for a teacher to join our outstanding team and be part of our friendly and supportive environment.
