Job Description

This is an opportunity for a qualified Photography and Art Teacher with excellent academic credentials to teach part-time (0.6 FTE) within a dynamic and supportive school. The role will primarily be dedicated to teaching A level Photography, but the successful candidate will also be asked to teach some Art lessons, mainly in the first to third forms (Year 7 - 9). The Art Department is incredibly well-resourced, in a new building. This role would suit an outstanding Teacher with a passion for their subject and a desire to work in a thriving co-ed Boarding and Day school. The College is also seeking a part-time teacher of Design and Technology (DT) and there is the possibility of a full-time role for a successful candidate who can fulfil this role and teach DT at all key stages.

St Lawrence College has a long record of providing an excellent academic education within a supportive community. We have recently entered the High-Performance Learning (HPL) Fellowship of World Class Schools, and our aim is to maximise the performance of every pupil, ensuring that they leave school equipped with the knowledge, skills and qualities that will serve them well for university, the workplace and life.

The school's ongoing programme of academic development, working with High Performance Learning, is informed by a wealth of evidence that a child's intelligence is not fixed but can be grown, and that high performance in education is achievable by every pupil.

The ideal candidate will be a skilled classroom practitioner with experience of teaching Photography to A level, as well as being passionate about their subject and unstinting in their desire to pass on their enthusiasm to eager and receptive pupils.

All colleagues are expected to act as a pastoral tutor, attached to a day or boarding house, and should be willing to be involved with the wider life of a busy boarding and day school.

Experienced teachers are welcome to apply or, where applicable, we provide full statutory induction for NQTs, and the School is also able to train new entrants to the profession. Regardless of the level of experience, a deep vocational commitment to teaching is essential.

St Lawrence College offers a competitive salary and generous benefits package which includes a stakeholder pension (AVIVA); healthcare (Benenden Health) (following qualification periods); employee assistance program and use of school facilities such as the gym, sports centre, canteen for lunch; parking and a staff fee remission for pupils attending the College.
