We are seeking to appoint an excellent teacher to join our school and lead on Spanish across the school for a year, covering for a post holder on maternity leave. This is a great opportunity to gain experience in a highly successful Faculty within a popular and well-resourced school.

Our aim is to cultivate a community where all students and staff can achieve happiness, excellence and success. If you care about all students having access to a high-quality education and want an opportunity to develop and grow as a professional in an aspirational but supportive environment, then come and join us at Eltham Hill.

Our school and co-educational Sixth Form are hugely oversubscribed but staff are able to request a priority place for their children under our admissions policy.
