Job description

A leading independent school on the London/Kent borders requires an English teacher from April 2026; however a later start would also be considered. Assistance with accommodation is available.

Essential: Prior experience teaching English at KS5 or applications from strong ECTs or postgraduates would also be warmly considered. Full support would be provided for the ECT Induction.

Desired: Experience teaching English at A level and a background in the independent sector would be a bonus; however, this is certainly not essential.

State-of-the art facilities highlight all areas of the school. Pupils are taught how to think analytically and independently, preparing them for our ever-changing world. Academic rigour is underpinned by an equally strong and nurturing pastoral care provision. All students and staff are encouraged to contribute to life at the school and to make the most of the opportunities available. The school's central aim is to ensure pupils leave as well-rounded and balanced individuals with a real sense of identity.
