The Role
An able, well-qualified and inspiring teacher of Sociology is required to join this very successful and innovative department from September. The department currently comprises two teachers who work in modern, well-resourced classrooms with good technical support. The Sociology requirement is currently a 0.5 teaching timetable, making the requirement to teach a second subject essential.
Whilst desirable, prior teaching experience is not a necessity. We are looking for applicants who relish the opportunity to work with bright, ambitious and well-motivated students. Applicants must demonstrate an ability to relate to young people together with a genuine, academically well-grounded enthusiasm for their subject. Applicants should endeavour to inspire students to develop high standards of scholarship through innovative, clearly focused and responsive teaching, which goes the extra mile, and encourages students to do the same.
In line with other currently advertised positions, the roles of Head of Careers or Director of Learning could also be available for the right candidate. If this was offered to the successful candidate, a second subject would not be essential.
All staff are involved in the wider life of St Andrew’s, including the School’s vibrant co-curricular and boarding programmes; an ability to contribute to these would be advantageous.
Person Specification
Working at St Andrew’s, Turi, is an exciting and dynamic experience. Our desire is 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.
Essential to working with us are:
Beyond that we want staff who are committed to allowing students to thrive; first-class communicators; passionate about the subjects and students they teach; creative and diligent in their planning; and, given life in a full boarding school, are adaptable, energetic and resilient.
The Package
There is a generous overall remuneration package as detailed below (the cost of living in Kenya is significantly lower than in the UK):
