We are looking to appoint a well-qualified and enthusiastic teacher for this academically selective school. The successful candidate will be expected to teach Geography at Key Stage Three and GCSE; there is the potential for A Level teaching for the right candidate. This is a full-time maternity cover position, commencing in September 2025. It is anticipated that the contract will be for two terms.
We seek a Geography graduate who is keen to develop further their experience in the teaching of the subject. This is an exciting challenge for a person at any stage in their career: we welcome applications from ECTs and experienced teachers alike, and no experience of working in the independent sector is required. A willingness to participate in the wider life of the school, namely pastoral care duties and co-curricular activities, is expected.
Early applications are most welcome; depending on the number of applications received, we reserve the right to bring the closing date and interviews forward.
How to apply
To apply for this role, forward a completed application form (available for download at: https://kehs.org.uk/about-us/work-with-us/) and a covering letter addressed to the Head of School (Dr Paul Arnold) by email to: recruitment@keschools.org.uk.
The deadline for applications is 8am on Monday 20 January 2025. Interviews are provisionally scheduled for the week beginning Monday 27 January 2025. However, applications will be reviewed on receipt: early applications are encouraged. We reserve the right to bring forward the closing and interview dates if sufficient applications have been received.
If you have any queries about this role, or would like to discuss it in more detail, please contact Kate Cowan, Head of Geography, by email: k.cowan@keschools.org.uk.
