Details for all our teaching roles:
Most importantly, we are looking for an enthusiastic, energetic and well-qualified teachers who can inspire their pupils and are able to engage sympathetically with young people.  They will: make an active contribution to their department; stretch pupils of all abilities to achieve their potential; encourage pupils to learn by making the subject taught both interesting and accessible; be innovative and dynamic in order to ensure the effective delivery of the curriculum.  Our pupils’ success in acquiring new abilities, skills and understanding depends crucially upon the quality of teaching which we are able to offer.
 
All members of staff are expected to commit to the boarding ethos of the school which includes supporting the extra-curricular life, as well as taking on the role of a House tutor within a boarding House on one evening a week. This provides a key interface between the specific academic work of the classroom and the broader life of the boarding community.
 
In particular at St Mary’s, we pride ourselves on our focus on the needs of individual girls. This is underpinned by the tutorial system in which all members of the academic staff play a full part, looking after a number of Tutees in different year groups; these tend to be drawn from the particular House in which each member of staff tutors.

The school offers its own payscale starting from £28,400 to £47,307 (teaching payscale, CA1 - CA8), plus potential allowances for additional responsibilities.

A full time teacher delivers 20 x 1-hour lessons per week and carries out the associated duties of an academic member of staff.  Part time posts are offered on a pro-rata salary according to teaching periods, with associated duties pro-rated by the same degree.

 

Early application for all vacancies is advised as we reserve the right to make an appointment prior to the closing date.
