Teacher of Psychology

Would you like the opportunity to work as part of a team of highly experienced and ambitious colleagues?

Our highly successful Social Science department is seeking to appoint one part-time (0.6) Teacher of Psychology. Psychology and Sociology are very popular subjects in our school, with a track record of excellent attainment. As a result, many of our students go on to pursue Social Science-related degrees in higher education.

This role would suit an enthusiastic teacher with excellent subject knowledge who wants to join an established and well-resourced department. Teamwork is an integral feature of our department. We would like to appoint a teacher who is organised, innovative in their teaching, and committed to collaboration.

The position is equally suitable for an experienced practitioner or a well-qualified ECT. The ability to teach Sociology would be an advantage.

Graveney is an extremely popular and successful 11–18 school situated in South West London, SW17, with the benefit of being situated in beautiful campus-style surroundings with excellent facilities and a warm community atmosphere. We have a commitment to providing the best opportunities to all students and to developing the professional skills and career opportunities of our staff within a supportive and collaborative environment.
