Teacher of Social Sciences - September 2026

MPS/UPS

The

Governing Board is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and qualified teacher of Social

Sciences to join the Faculty from September 2026.

Social

Sciences is a large faculty within the school, comprising several popular

subjects. Citizenship is a core subject at Key Stages 3 and 4, and the holder

of this post will have lessons in the subject as part of their timetable.

Sociology is offered as an option choice at Key Stage 4. At A Level, the

faculty offers three popular subjects, including Sociology, Psychology, and

Politics. The successful candidate will be an enthusiastic and suitably

qualified teacher of Citizenship and at least one of the other subjects; we are

particularly keen to receive applications from those teaching A Level Psychology

and Sociology. They will be keen to play a proactive, collaborative role in

developing the faculty further in the school.

The successful

candidate will model at least good teaching practice and will be able to engage

and inspire students of all abilities both in and out of lessons. They will

also be keen to contribute to the school’s extra-curricular life to enhance the

opportunities available to our students. A bespoke CPD programme will be

tailored to meeting their needs.
