Temporary Resident Teacher of Art Senior School at St Andrew’s School

The Role

An able, well-qualified and inspiring Teacher of Art is required to lead this very successful and innovative department from September. The department consists of two teachers who work in newly refurbished studios with the support of a technician.
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 the 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.

St Andrew’s has a history of producing some outstanding artists, with 60% of A Level students achieving an A* in 2021. The successful candidate will be well supported as they look to maintain the high standards and profile that have been built up over the years.

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.

2. A clear passion for Art
3. A good degree in your teaching subject and relevant teaching experience
