The Opportunity

An exceptional independent school in Bath is looking to appoint an inspiring English and Drama Teacher to join its thriving Arts and Humanities community. This role offers the chance to teach motivated, articulate students in an environment where academic ambition, creativity and pastoral care sit at the heart of school life.

You will be part of a collaborative staff body that values scholarship, performance, and the development of confident communicators both on the page and on the stage.

• Strong culture of professional trust and development

• Extensive co-curricular programme including productions, clubs and competitions

What You’ll Be Doing

• Teaching English and Drama across KS3–KS5

• Preparing students for GCSE and A-Level examinations

• Directing or supporting performances, showcases and productions

• Contributing to curriculum development and enrichment

• Providing pastoral support as part of the wider school community

Who We’re Looking For

You will be:

• A knowledgeable graduate in English, Drama or a related discipline

• Passionate about literature, theatre and the power of communication

• Skilled at inspiring high standards of analysis, interpretation and performance

• Organised, reflective and keen to collaborate with colleagues

• Committed to inclusive practice and student wellbeing

QTS, PGCE or an equivalent qualification is expected, along with the right to work in the UK.
