Teacher of English

Job description

We have a wonderful opportunity for someone to join our vibrant and scholarly English department. This is a permanent role and comes about due to the retirement of a long serving colleague. The successful candidate will be a dynamic and inspiring teacher from Year 7 through to A Level, with experience of preparing and guiding Oxbridge candidates. We are looking for an experienced candidate, whether that be in the independent sector or otherwise, and we will ensure that appropriate training and mentoring is provided either way.

Being ‘willing to go the extra mile’ is a major part of the role for all teachers at the RGS, not merely in specialist activities but in a huge range of co-curricular sporting, artistic and cultural work. We are keen to invite applications from those who would like to make their own distinctive contribution to this ethos. We very much value colleagues who are willing to contribute to the co-curricular programme.

Hours: This is a full time, permanent post. Normal working hours will be those necessary to carry out the duties of the post.

Salary: The RGS has its own salary scale (which is above national pay scales for teachers) and provides ECTs with an appropriate programme of induction leading to QTS.

For full details and an application form, please see our website:

Closing date: 9.00am on Wednesday 20th March 2024.

RGS is proud to be an equal opportunities employer, and all qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment regardless of age, disability, sex, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief and marriage and civil partnerships. Whilst all applicants are considered on merit, we would particularly welcome applications from black and minority ethnic candidates, who are currently under-represented in our staff community.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and we expect all staff to share this commitment. All posts are subject to pre-interview referencing, internet searchers and pre-employment checks, including an enhanced DBS check with the children's barred list.
