We are looking to recruit a full-time teacher of theology and philosophy for September 2024. The department combines creativity and challenge to ensure pupils are thinking deeply about the issues covered and can clearly articulate their own opinions.
In the interests of broadening the pupils’ horizons, the Theology and Philosophy department runs a range of trips which include visits to Canterbury Cathedral, a local mosque and Auschwitz, Poland.
Applicants will need to demonstrate strong subject knowledge, contagious enthusiasm and an effective, nurturing teaching style.
In return you can expect all the benefits of a thriving independent school: a competitive and progressive salary, pension, professional development, laptop, cycle scheme, lunches in term time and free parking.
Further details of the role and how to apply can be found under the ‘working at Claremont’ link on our school website.
Applications will be reviewed upon receipt. We encourage early applications for this role and will contact suitable candidates to arrange a time for interview

Claremont Fan Court School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. Applicants will be required to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
The post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the school is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are “spent” unless they are “protected” under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
