The role also offers the opportunity to contribute to the continued development of the Psychology curriculum, create innovative learning resources, and work collaboratively with colleagues to ensure excellent outcomes for our students. We are looking for a teacher who can foster intellectual curiosity and encourage students to engage critically with psychological theories, research, and contemporary issues.

Whether an experienced teacher or an ambitious early career professional with the right skills and enthusiasm, they will be passionate about their subject and committed to helping students develop confidence, independence, and a lifelong love of learning. Beyond the classroom, the successful candidate will play an active role in the wider life of our boarding school community, contributing to pastoral care, the co-curricular programme, and the School's full boarding ethos.
