For January or April 2025 Cheltenham College is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic teacher to join a highly successful department. This post is a part-time position (0.44 – equivalent to 12 lessons). The appointee will be employed to teach Design Technology (Resistant Materials) at Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, initially, with scope to work with Key Stage 5 in due course.

There is potential to take up accommodation on site as a Resident Tutor in one of our Boarding Houses.

The Department

Whilst we may seem a large organisation, we operate very much as a close community with a family feel. As a new member of staff, you will find that our focus lies very much in developing you as an individual. Just as we expect you to go the extra mile for your pupils, we will engage with your own professional and personal development from the start.
