Description

Enjoying unique lifestyle opportunities, St Helena Island is a self-governing overseas territory of the United Kingdom. Although better placed to develop economically and socially as a result of opening our international airport in 2017, we are not at the stage of self-sufficiency and therefore remain dependent on UK government aid. There are four schools on the island; one secondary and three primaries. The curriculum broadly models the English education system.

You will plan, prepare and deliver appropriate schemes of work and develop those for key stage 3, 4 and 5 where applicable. You must offer high quality teaching across of 11 – 18 year olds, with monitoring, assessment, reporting and feedback to students and parents, developing the tracking systems currently in place.

In addition, you must demonstrate our core values of fairness, integrity and teamwork and use your diverse expertise and experiences to ensure your time on the Island has the broadest benefit to St Helena.
