Notting Hill & Ealing High School, one of London’s leading independent girls’ day schools, has an exciting opportunity for an inspirational Teacher of English to contribute further to a flourishing English Department in both its curricular and extra-curricular activities.

We are looking for a well-qualified graduate of English, with a passion for the subject and excellent subject knowledge, to teach highly motivated, talented girls throughout the school up to A Level and Oxbridge entrance. The successful candidate will have good organisational and time management skills. If you are a good communicator who can enthuse and inspire about the teaching of English, and the ways in which it can be further developed and encouraged we would be delighted to hear from you.
