We are currently looking to appoint an enthusiastic and committed Sociology Teacher to join a successful secondary school in Harlow. This is an excellent opportunity for a passionate Social Sciences specialist who enjoys encouraging students to question, debate and explore the world around them.

The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering engaging Sociology lessons across KS4 and KS5, helping students develop their understanding of sociological theories, research methods and contemporary social issues. You will be expected to create a classroom environment where students feel confident expressing their ideas while developing the analytical and evaluative skills required for examination success.
