Teacher of English – 2 terms

Appointment of  Teacher of English (Fixed Term)

Do you want to be part of a unique educational establishment?  Christ’s Hospital has pioneered social mobility and challenged social inequality to provide an unrivalled start in life for disadvantaged children for nearly five centuries.

Applicants should evidence in the personal statement how they how they meet the requirements of the role and person specification. Salary is commensurate with experience and paid in accordance with the Christs’ Hospital Teachers’ Salary scale which currently ranges from £26,874 – £41,620 per annum.  Full participation in the broader life of this busy boarding community is essential and accommodation on site is available.
