Hurstpierpoint College |

Hurst is a very successful independent school located on an outstanding 140 acre campus in West Sussex, just north of Brighton. With over 1,200 pupils aged 4 to 18, the school has nearly doubled in size over the last ten years and made huge progress academically as well as in other areas, whether sporting, creative or in the broader aspects of education. It has a reputation for being innovative and ambitious in its approach. Key to our success have been excellent staff. The school has made a point of recruiting then training individuals with the potential to be outstanding teachers straight from university or careers in other areas.

We offer excellent teacher training opportunities through our Teach Hurst programme, together with a supportive and vibrant community.

As a teacher, from day one you will receive a £30,500 starting salary, free on-site accommodation at our impressive Sussex campus, and free meals. Our programme is fully funded and includes sponsorship of a PGCE with QTS in your second year. Throughout the programme you will work closely with a mentor to build confidence in skills, knowledge and pedagogy. This is achieved through observations, phased in class teaching, and bespoke training sessions. Many of our Teach Hurst teachers go on to take up positions of responsibilities early in their careers.

Whether you are fresh from university, or have career experience in another field, we welcome applications from well-qualified graduates in the following subject areas: Maths, English, Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Psychology, Economics, Business Studies, Computer Science, Politics, French, Spanish, Latin, Religious Studies, History, Geography, Art, DT, Music, Dance, Drama, PE and Primary Education.
