Job overview
We are looking for personable Physics graduates with good degrees to join this highly successful and innovative co-educational school. We offer a unique 3 year programme of fully funded teacher training, a starting salary of £22,560 per annum (currently under review), together with free on site accommodation and free meals in term time.
The programme provides high quality training as follows:
Year 1: Graduate Teacher.
During your first year as a Graduate Teacher you will be given a range of opportunities to experience all aspects of teaching in a professional and vibrant school setting. In the classroom, on a much reduced timetable, working closely with your mentor and Head of Department, you will have the opportunity to teach your own classes and observe a range of outstanding practitioners across a variety of subjects and key stages. You will also work closely with colleagues in the department of your chosen subject area, building subject-specific knowledge and pedagogy. INSET courses will help build confidence in, and awareness of, teaching and learning practices.
Year 2: PGCE
Those Graduate Teachers who show the commitment and promise of developing into an outstanding practitioner during their first year of training, will be offered the opportunity to be sponsored through their PGCE year by the College. This is a school-based course, closely guided by a mentor, as provided by Sussex University or similar provider. The teaching load will increase and further responsibility will be given for teaching your own classes. Structured support will still be in place and weekly mentoring and observations will continue. To widen your teaching experience beyond the Independent sector, a placement in a State School will be organised.
Year 3: NQT
During this year, NQTs have greater autonomy and responsibility in their teaching, but a safety net of mentoring, observations and INSET remains in place.
If you are excited by this opportunity, please contact Michelle Zeidler, the Director of Professional Development at Hurstpierpoint College, at teach.hurst@hppc.co.uk to express your interest and to find out more.

The College comprises a Sixth Form, Senior School, Senior Prep and Junior Prep with 1,300 pupils in all. Over half the pupils in the Senior School are boarders (weekly or flexi). Hurst is a significant medium-sized enterprise in Mid Sussex with around 480 employees and an annual turnover of £35 million pa.
What particularly strikes visitors to the College is the vibrant dynamic of our community. Situated within a 140- acre campus, surrounded by beautiful countryside, Hurst lies on the border of the South Downs National Park, close to the village of Hurstpierpoint in West Sussex.
This superb location is also just 20 minutes from the city and beaches of Brighton and Hove, whilst London train stations can be reached from Hassocks or Haywards Heath in under an hour. The central campus is thoughtfully laid out and planned with zones for the Academic, Co-Curricular and Pastoral areas of school life. These all lie at the centre of a superbly equipped broader campus.
Hurst has an excellent academic track record and the vast majority of pupils go on to Russell Group universities including Oxford, Cambridge, the various London Universities, as well as large numbers to Exeter, Bristol and Durham.
Founded in 1849 by Nathanial Woodard, Hurst is a Church of England College. The Christian ethos underpins College life but we are a diverse community; we welcome those of other faiths, or no faith, and pursue an inclusive approach in all that we do.
The College is a Co-Sponsor, together with the Diocese of Chichester, of the newly formed Hurst Education Trust, a local Multi Academy Trust. The Trust currently has four local primary schools, although it is envisaged it will grow to over time.
