Job Introduction
We are looking to recruit a either a part time teacher who can teach Geography at key stages 3 and 4 or a full-time teacher who can additionally teach History to at least KS3. This post is a fantastic opportunity to join a creative and passionate team. The Geography and History departments secure the strongest progress scores in the college: attainment and progress are significantly above national averages but staff are equally proud of the positive experience that students have in lessons and on trips.
The successful candidate will be able to enthuse students with a love of the subject. They will be student-centred, passionate, reflective and hard working. They will be collaborative in approach, keen to work with colleagues to share the best practice and resources.
Wyvern College is a popular and happy school, where staff and students feel valued and appreciated. Students are polite, hard-working and well behaved. They are keen to learn and they achieve well above national expectations. Staff morale is high; turnover is low and there is a strong sense of team work and community. Staff are proud of their college and genuinely excited about the next stage of its development. Leaders and Governors are held in high esteem. We have on-site nursery and gym facilities with staff discounts. People rarely leave Wyvern and those who do, often return!
Wyvern is a 11-16 mixed comprehensive school, serving the communities of Fair Oak, Horton Heath, Bishopstoke, Durley and Upham and the surrounding area. Increasingly, families from outside the catchment area are seeking Wyvern places for their children. Consequently, it is oversubscribed.
Closing date for applications: Friday Thursday 22nd May 2025 although particularly strong candidates may be invited for interview upon receipt of their application, before that date.
