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 character.
We seek to appoint a flexible, confident, kind individual for September 2024 to join our vibrant and successful Art/Photography/Textiles Department. Amongst other duties, the successful candidate will be preparing and/or setting up materials and equipment for lessons and students independent projects, participate in stocktaking and ordering, assist with displays and exhibitions, arrange for departmental equipment to be serviced when required, and support teachers with structured and practical activities for small groups when requested. Applicants should have an interest in art practice, good interpersonal skills, be computer literate, have a flexible approach to work and the ability to work well under pressure.
You will need great people skills, resilience and enthusiasm and a capacity for sustained hard work. Perhaps most importantly, you will be positive, optimistic and have a can-do attitude to anything that will benefit FSG Girls.
You’ll also be able to get involved 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!
You can find out all about our school and about our unique school vision and ethos via our school website.
Closing Date: 11th September 2024 at midday
Short listed candidates will be notified by 16th September 2024
