Teacher of Psychology & Sociology (ECT Welcome) - West London
Permanent Role September 2026 Start
Outer London MPS: £37,870 - £56,164

Are you a passionate Social Sciences specialist ready to inspire the next generation of critical thinkers? Looking to begin your teaching career in a school where A-Level outcomes are strong, student engagement is high, and training is exceptional?

A high-performing secondary school in West London is seeking a talented Teacher of Psychology & Sociology (ECT or experienced) to join a thriving Sixth Form and Humanities faculty from September 2026.

Why This Role Stands Out

  • Strong uptake in A-Level Psychology & Sociology with consistently positive progress scores

  • Students who are engaged, inquisitive, and academically ambitious

  • A collaborative department with shared planning and high-quality resources

  • A school culture that prioritises behaviour, respect, and academic focus

  • Excellent track record of supporting ECTs into high-performing teachers

This is an ideal environment to develop as a teacher while delivering impactful A-Level teaching.

The Role

As a Teacher of Psychology & Sociology, you will:

  • Teach Psychology and Sociology at KS5 (KS4 opportunities depending on timetable)

  • Deliver lessons that develop evaluation, analysis, and essay-writing skills

  • Support students in achieving strong outcomes in A-Level examinations

  • Use assessment data to track progress and close attainment gaps

  • Contribute to a department focused on academic rigour and student success

ECT Support & Development

  • Reduced timetable with protected CPD time

  • Weekly instructional coaching and subject-specific mentoring

  • Training focused on A-Level delivery, exam technique, and extended writing

  • Access to experienced staff with proven success in Sixth Form outcomes

What We're Looking For

  • A Psychology, Sociology or related degree with QTS (or on track to achieve)

  • Strong subject knowledge and enthusiasm for Social Sciences

  • A reflective, motivated teacher committed to continuous improvement

  • Ability to support students in mastering essay structure and exam technique

  • A long-term commitment to a career in education

What You'll Gain

  • Opportunity to teach motivated Sixth Form students with strong aspirations

  • A clear pathway from ECT to accomplished A-Level specialist

  • A supportive, disciplined school environment focused on outcomes

  • Competitive salary on the Outer London MPS (£37,870 - £56,164)

This role is perfect for a teacher looking to develop within a school where A-Level success, strong teaching, and professional growth are central.
