Job overview

A. Ashbourne College

Ashbourne College was established over 40 years ago and has since become a centre of academic excellence. For A-level results, Ashbourne is consistently ranked among the top two private colleges in London and overall is one of the leading colleges in the UK. Ashbourne has been rated Outstanding\’ in its last two Ofsted inspections, a distinction that is rare among both independent colleges and schools. Last year, almost 63% of our students progressed to Russell Group universities, including Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College, and UCL.

Ashbourne College now offers an exciting opportunity for the right candidate to teach A-level in one of London\’s leading sixth-form colleges. Teaching happens in small groups of highly motivated and well-behaved students who are committed to achieving their very best. Both staff and students receive encouragement and support throughout their time at the college, making Ashbourne a wonderful place to work and learn. We pride ourselves on fostering a culture of collaboration and support, where every member of staff feels valued, inspired, and empowered to give their best.

This role is perfect for candidates who are passionate about their subject and hold high expectations for themselves and their students. While previous teaching experience is preferred, it is not essential. Ashbourne welcomes applicants from a wide range of professional and academic backgrounds, including those new to teaching who are keen to train to teach A-level. We also offer visa sponsorship for eligible overseas candidates applying for full-time teaching roles.

At Ashbourne, we welcome teachers who have yet to gain formal qualifications, providing on-the-job support alongside flexible working arrangements and opportunities for independence and growth. We have a strong track record of nurturing recent university graduates, guiding them as they build their teaching careers and reach their professional aspirations.

Ashbourne is committed to equal opportunities and the safeguarding of all members of our community. We expect all staff to share these values and to undergo an enhanced DBS check.
