Teacher of Latin

Part-time, permanent

To start September 2025

Monkton is seeking to appoint a part time Teacher of Latin from September 2025 to teach across Senior and upper Prep age groups. 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.

SKITT or ECT Teachers are encouraged to apply. We would also welcome applications from those looking for a more full-time role who are able to teach another subject alongside Latin. 

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.

For more information please see the Candidate Information Pack.
