Join an OUTSTANDING school!
We wish to appoint a full time Teacher of Psychology and/or Sociology for September 2022. We are seeking an enthusiastic and able individual who will have the ability to motivate all students and to bring new ideas as the school builds on its excellent status. The ideal candidate will be ambitious, dynamic and have a passion for their subject. Ability to teach KS3 Humanities or Science alongside would be desirable but not essential.
If this sounds like you and you are enthusiastic to take advantage of a new challenge then we would be delighted to hear from you. We offer a secure, supportive environment, a full induction programme for all new staff and continuous professional development. Applications from those wishing to contribute to other aspects of school life outside the classroom are particularly welcome.
Applications from Early Career Teachers (ECTs) are welcomed as the school provides a thorough and successful training programme. This is an outstanding opportunity for someone who wants to join a high performing school and gain significant experience to further enhance their career.
HBS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. An enhanced DBS check will be carried out for all posts.
Further details and an application form are available on the school website. Completed applications should be emailed to Mrs Becky Rose, HR Assistant at brose@hitchinboys.co.uk.
Closing date: 9am Monday 16th May 2022
Interviews: w/c 16th May
HBS welcomes applications from all applicants who meet the requirements for the position, however we are especially keen to receive applications from those in minority groups for which the School is currently underrepresented. We celebrate diversity and thrive on the benefits it brings.
