We have an opportunity for a motivational and dedicated Teacher of Geography and Humanities to join this ‘Excellent in Every Aspect’ ISI rated Independent day and boarding School in North Essex.
This role is a full-time position (Monday to Saturday, 44 lessons per fortnight) and will require the successful person to teach across Years 9 to 13 within our Senior School. Geography is a popular subject at Felsted, with many students choosing the subject at GCSE and A-Level/IB. The ability and willingness to deliver another Humanities subject would also be welcome.
Our ideal applicant will be suitably qualified, enthusiastic about Geography and the learning process, hold excellent subject knowledge, be dynamic, adaptable, ambitious and willing to promote Geography beyond the classroom. The post holder will be fully involved with field work, including residential trips to Dorset and London.
A desire to fully contribute to the co-curricular activities at the School is a must at this ‘Excellent in every aspect’ ISI rated school, including boarding, tutoring, sports and activity programme. Felsted School has its own salary scale which compares favourably against other independent schools and is well above that of the maintained sector.
