Job description

Job Overview

Required for immediate start.

FSG Pay Scheme Band 4 Point 11‑14 (£24,546 - £25,459 pro rata).

Actual Salary £ 17,270 - £17,912.

30 hours per week. Term time only + Inset.

1 Year Temporary contract with option to review and extend.

We are a busy, vibrant, and happy school – academically successful but driven to achieve much more. We believe that education must maintain a balance between intellect and character. An outstanding education is not either/or. It is both. We believe that qualifications are what girls get; they do not define who they are and will play only a part in shaping the people they become. Our academic curriculum therefore is only a part of what we do.

At the Folkestone School for Girls, girls do not complete an excessive number of qualifications. This allows them not only time to focus efforts on achieving the very best grades within these, but also time to participate in co‑curricular activities and interests, both at school and at home. There is time to spend with friends and family and time, too, to just be a child. A justifiable balance between intellect and character.

Responsibilities

• Covering lessons in the absence of the teacher.
• Working with individual students or small groups.
• Providing administrative support as required.

Qualifications and Skills

• Good interpersonal skills.
• Computer literate.
• Flexible approach to work.
• Ability to work well under pressure.
• Great people skills, resilience, enthusiasm and a capacity for sustained hard work.
• Positive, optimistic and a can‑do attitude to anything that will benefit FSG Girls.

What We Offer

• Flexible, confident, kind individual to join our vibrant and successful team.
• Involvement with our unique personal development and character education programme, The FSGBacc, which encompasses all sorts of activities – from our very own escape room or radio station through to our extensive Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme or our Combined Cadet Force Contingent! Sport, Music, Debate, Drama, Dance, Adventure – something for everyone!
