Cranleigh seeks to appoint, for September 2023, a strong honours graduate to teach A-level Business Studies. The successful candidate will teach classes from a selection of years 12 and 13 in a lively, ambitious and successful Department, as well as taking a full part in the life of this busy and friendly boarding school.
Cranleigh is a leading fully co-educational independent boarding and day Senior School consisting of around 670 girls and boys of 13–18 years of age. There is also a Preparatory School in close proximity. Cranleigh aspires to be a beacon of excellence in learning and teaching and is committed to the continuing professional development of all employees.
Who you are
The successful candidate will ideally be either currently completing the final year of a degree or a recent graduate in Business Studies (or related subject). They will be self-motivated, good humoured and will relish the challenge presented by being part of a cheerful, supportive and highly successful department.
This post would be ideal for anyone considering teaching or indeed just looking for a great place to spend a year getting some salaried experience in the field of education. No teaching qualifications are necessary – guidance and support will be offered to the successful candidate who will be flexible, adaptable, innovative and a good team player.
In addition, they would be expected to get involved in all aspects of this busy boarding school, including acting as a tutor to a group of students within a House and delivering some of the school’s PSHE programme. This would normally include one evening duty per week. All teachers are expected to contribute to the School’s co-curricular programme alongside their academic responsibilities; a willingness to assist with any of the school’s main sports – rugby, hockey, netball, football, cricket, athletics and tennis – would be beneficial.
