Detail

An inspirational and well-qualified teacher of Psychology is required to join this successful department from January 2026 on a full-time basis. Psychology is taught at A-level and is one of our most popular A-level subjects. Several students each year go on to study Psychology and related subjects at top universities, including Oxford and Cambridge.

We welcome applications from maintained and independent schools, and from new and experienced teachers. For more experienced teachers, there may be further professional opportunities.

What we offer:

• LEH is a thriving school situated on a 24-acre site southwest of London. It has a vibrant and diverse community, and LEH students are renowned for their academic prowess as well as their success across an extraordinarily wide range of co-curricular activities, including sport, music, and drama.
• We have state-of-the-art facilities, and we encourage staff to make the most of the school’s swimming pool, tennis courts, free lunches, on-site parking, and library services.
• The school offers the Teachers' Pension Scheme to all teaching staff.
• A list of our attractive range of benefits can be found on our website.

How to apply:

Please refer to the candidate information pack for further details of the role, which will also include a link to the School’s application form. CVs will not be considered and should not be submitted.

The closing date is noon on Friday, 31st October 2025.

Safeguarding Statement:

All staff working in the School will have some contact with children and will therefore be in regulated activity. Staff with teaching duties will be responsible for the pupils that they teach and may also have additional specific pastoral or other responsibilities for other pupils they do not teach. In addition, all staff will regularly interact with pupils who may seek assistance or otherwise interact with them whilst moving around the School. In all cases, the post holder’s responsibility for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of the pupils is to adhere to and ensure compliance with the School’s safeguarding policies and procedures at all times.

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.

Lady Eleanor Holles is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
