We are currently looking for a highly skilled and commited individual to primarily teach the subject of photography to our A Level students.

The postholder will assist the Cluster Leader in the delivery of courses, ensuring a high quality of teaching and learning for students and effective student achievement and progression.

You must be able to inspire and enthuse students about the subject and make the subject interesting, lively and accessible to all through your innovative delivery of the curriculum.
