Teacher of English/Literacy Leader

The Governors wish to appoint an enthusiastic and highly motivated teacher to join a successful, supportive and forward looking English Department from January 2018.  Applications from experienced teachers and new entrants to the profession are welcomed.  A TLR point to lead literacy across the school may be available to suitably experienced candidates.

Hurstmere School is committed to ensuring colleagues achieve an effective work-life balance, in order that the pupils are served by motivated, inspirational teachers.  The provision of Continuing Professional Development opportunities is central to the school’s pledge to further develop teachers at every stage of their career.

Hurstmere School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Offers of employment are subject to a satisfactory enhanced DBS disclosure and other employment checks.

This post is considered to be a customer-facing position; as such it falls within scope of the Code of Practice on English language requirement for public sector workers.  The school therefore has a statutory duty under Part 7 of the Immigration Act 2016 to ensure that post holders have a command of spoken English sufficient for the effective performance of the job requirements.  The appropriate standards are set out in the person specification.  These will be applied during the recruitment/selection and probationary stages.

Please email Mrs C Murphy, Principal’s PA, on info@hurstmere.org.uk for an application form and further details.
