Are you an inventive and forward thinking teacher excited about the opportunity to share your passion for the Social Sciences?

Students at Homewood have the opportunity to learn KS4/5 Ethical & Religious Studies, Sociology and Psychology alongside KS3 Humanities. The successful candidate will need to be able to teach KS3 Humanities as well as GCSE Religious Studies and Sociology; recent GCSE experience in these subjects is therefore desirable.

Homewood School, Tenterden is a progressive and innovative school set in a 55 acre site midway between London and the Channel Ports. Tenterden is described as ‘The Jewel of the Weald’. Its fine High Street must rank amongst the most attractive in the Country with historic houses, shops and restaurants separated from the road by wide expanses of tree-lined grass verges. We have a growing reputation for engagement in curriculum development, personalisation and welfare management.

You will enjoy a unique working environment in the heart of the Weald of Kent, discounts and offers with Kent Rewards.  We welcome candidates with experience as well as NQTs to join our very successful and supportive department.  All teaching staff are provided with an Apple device and there is also an independent nursery based on the school site which offers discounts to Homewood staff.

An application form and more information can be accessed on the following website:  www.homewood-school-trust.com or please contact Mrs Karen Nicholls on vacancies@homewood.kent.sch.uk for an application form.

Applications will be considered on receipt. We look forward to hearing from you.
