Teacher of Humanities

Proposed Start Date: September 2026

Salary: MPS / UPS

Contract type: Full Time, permanent

We are looking for a highly motivated and innovative teacher to join our dedicated Humanities department from September 2026. This role will be predominantly based at our site in Sevenoaks, but you will be expected to travel to our Tunbridge Wells campus.

The successful candidate will be able to deliver high quality lessons in Geography, History and Religious Education at Key Stage 3, with the ability to teach at least one subject to GCSE and A-level preferred.

The Humanities department is well established at Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys and continues to be popular across each year group. All subjects within the faculty have high take up at GCSE and A-level, and have consistently produced some of the school’s best results in recent years. A healthy approach to broader, innovative ways to enhance learning is encouraged - trips and out of class enrichment activities add to this. Staff have a wealth of experiences and interests, which bring many dimensions to the provision of excellent lessons as well as skills and support for a new colleague!

The successful candidate will be able to demonstrate experience of achieving positive outcomes for students, as well as being passionate about making a difference to the lives of young people. As a committed team player, you will have excellent organisational skills and the natural ability to motivate both students and peers. We welcome applications from creative and dynamic teachers who can contribute to this vision. Although the ideal candidate will have a proven track record of excellent teaching and learning, we also welcome applications from ECTs.
