Prepare London's most able state school students for entry to the world's top universities.

Based in the heart of London, Harris Westminster Sixth Form is a unique collaboration between Westminster School and the Harris Federation. It combines the strengths of Westminster School in teaching academically able pupils with the Harris Federation's experience in establishing and running outstanding maintained sector schools across London.

We are academically selective and are looking for outstanding staff to join us in this exciting venture from the outset. We will open in September 2014. Already highly oversubscribed for our first year, we will offer an environment dedicated to students of a particularly high potential and ability.

We are looking for:

• Teachers with enthusiasm, passion and outstanding subject knowledge, and for whom it is second nature to teach beyond A*
• Teachers with vision, presence and clarity
• Teachers who love learning and are interested in furthering their knowledge both within and outside their subject specialism
• Teachers who can deliver consistently good (or better) lessons

We can offer you:

• The opportunity to teach some of the brightest young minds in London and open up the world's most prestigious universities to them
• Support, CPD and networking with subject experts at Westminster School and from across the Harris Federation
• A positive and innovative learning Environment
• Opportunities to deliver Cultural Perspectives classes in areas of knowledge that are of particular interest to you
• Excellent prospects for future promotion

As part of the Harris Federation of Schools you can expect to work in an atmosphere of mutual support and co-operation with superb professional development and promotion opportunities within both the Sixth Form and the Harris Federation. If you are committed to the learning and well-being of London's teenagers we welcome your application.
