The Role

St Andrew’s Senior School is seeking to appoint an inspirational Teacher of English. A love of language and literature and a keen interest in teaching creatively are key requirements. The ideal candidate will join a thriving and well
developed department, and will be expected to teach across Year 9 to Year 13. The successful individual will be innovative and keen to inspire students
to achieve their best.

This is a maternity cover for One Term (September to December 2021). St Andrew’s is committed to providing a vibrant co-curricular and boarding program to which all staff contribute.

Person Specification

Working at St Andrew’s, Turi, is an exciting and dynamic experience. We look to recruit committed and resourceful staff, who are looking to not only develop their skills and leadership capacities, but also embrace new experiences and challenges. There are some things that are essential to working with us. The successful candidate will need to be able to support the School's aims and Christian ethos. They will have to have a degree as well as a recognised teaching qualification, such as a PGCE, and of course, the relevant experience.

Beyond that we want to have staff who love working as part of a team; who are first-class communicators; who are passionate about the subjects and students they teach; who are creative and diligent in their planning and who are adaptable,
energetic and resilient. Experience of working in a Senior School, or in boarding, would be desirable, but not essential. Above all, what matters is a commitment to help us provide a worldclass education for our children.
