This is an exciting opportunity to teach A-level Psychology in a highly successful, academic sixth form college. We are looking for an inspirational teacher who will inspire a passion for Psychology in our motivated and highly engaged students. This is an exciting opportunity for those who want to focus on A Level practice in an environment dedicated to academic achievement. This is an opportunity for an individual who would work well as part of a highly motivated team, with high expectations for students which supports students’ studying Psychology at NSFC to consistently achieve results in the top 25% nationally for student progress. We would also encourage applications from early career teachers as well as individuals completing their PGCE. If you have high expectations of yourself and those you teach, we'd love to hear from you.
The successful applicant will be joining an established team who work collaboratively with shared planning and have strong examining experience.

“The feedback I receive is always really helpful and motivating. Lessons are carried out really well to a point where I feel like I'm constantly making progress. My teachers are approachable for any issues I have. They are always aware of who struggles on what and challenge them in class with questions.”
