Secondary Teacher All Island Secondary Schools, Department of Education, Sport and Culture

Applications are invited from qualified Secondary teachers for vacant positions when they arise in any of our schools. Playing a key role in the lives of young people, a teacher is both facilitator and enabler. Secondary teachers will develop a child’s enthusiasm for learning by engaging minds and building positive relationships, whilst ensuring they are ready for future challenges, both in life and the workplace. Island schools offer a range of courses at KS4 in order to meet the needs of all learners. These include IGCSE, WJEC, BTEC, SQA courses as well as other applied learning qualifications. At KS5 schools deliver a range of A Level and some BTEC Level 3 qualifications.
