Are you an inspiring Teacher of Psychology/PE who is keen to start an exciting new role from September 2023?

We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic, motivated and engaging Teacher of Psychology/PE who has experience in both subject areas to join us at Ebbsfleet Academy. The successful candidate will bring with them a passion for both subjects with an overarching ability to engage our students. Psychology offers a variety of cross-curricular links, such as PE, and we encourage our successful candidate to exploit these in their teaching. 

We are looking for someone to join a strong team who supports each other to enable the students to achieve success. Both Psychology and PE receive a high uptake at Ebbsfleet Academy, therefore, if you are a dynamic, creative teacher with experience teaching Psychology across Key Stage 5 and PE across KS3/4, we’d love to hear from you! ​​​​​​​

Applications from Early Career Teachers (ETCs) are welcome as are applications from more experienced teachers; we can offer a fantastic range of professional development opportunities within the academy and across the wider Trust. Ebbsfleet Academy is an IB World School. Training can be delivered, where necessary, to upskill our successful candidate in the delivery of the MYP and IB programmes.

This is a permanent, full-time position offering MPS/UPS commensurate with experience + London Fringe Allowance + the possibility of a TLR for the right candidate who can lead on teaching KS5 Psychology.
