Teacher of English

Full time

Starting September 2025

Monkton is seeking to appoint a full-time Teacher of English from September 2025 to teach throughout the Senior School (Years 9 to 13). Candidates who also had a desire to teach Media Studies would be highly considered. As the successful candidate, you are dynamic and ambitious and are seeking to develop in a school which grows fruitful people through innovation and a commitment to professional growth, and which prioritises relationships over systems.

You will share our vision for fostering a love of lifelong learning, both for students and teachers. You will be passionate about delivering an excellent holistic education and have a commitment to individuals, seeing this as the basis for students to flourish. You will see education as lighting fires rather than filling pails as well as the vital part that a proactive pastoral approach plays in a student’s development.

In addition to teaching an academic timetable, all staff at Monkton are involved with the wider life of a busy boarding-ethos school. Co-curricular activities go far beyond those clubs and societies which are closely connected with a teacher’s academic subject and all staff play a rich pastoral role with both day and boarding pupils. As such, a full-time teacher will coach or support two terms of sport, or equivalent - eg CCF, drama, community service - have a tutor group, supervise an evening work period once a week in a boarding house, and run a co-curricular activity. Applicants should make clear in their application how they would see themselves contributing to school life in these wider ways; applications which focus solely on classroom practice are likely to be less successful.

The salary offered is in accordance with the Monkton Combe Teaching Staff Salary Scale.

For further information please see the Candidate Information Pack.

Closing date: 11th April 2025

We encourage early applications and we reserve the right to close the application early if sufficient candidates have applied.
