Shiplake College is looking for a Media Studies teacher from September 2025, for up to 10 hours per week.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a degree in media or a related subject to join our dynamic school.

Located in 63 acres of beautiful countryside near Henley-on-Thames, we offer small class sizes, excellent facilities, and dedicated staff. All staff are expected to contribute to our broad co-curricular programme.

We offer a competitive salary, free lunches, a contributory pension scheme, access to our gym and sports facilities, and a beautiful working environment.

Early applications are encouraged, as the College may appoint at any stage during the process.

The closing date is 10 am on Tuesday, 20 May 2025.

Interviews will be conducted upon receipt of applications.
