WORKING AT FRENSHAM
TEACHING STAFF
As a progressive school, our teachers will find an exciting innovative opportunity to really engage with the students. Their role is not just to disperse knowledge, but to instill lasting learning and skills. Beyond a specific subject, our teachers engage students in cross-curricular projects and social, moral and ethical discussions and above all create genuine, lasting relationships built on mutual respect.
There are currently no vacancies for teaching staff.
Frensham Heights is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and requires its staff to share this commitment. All candidates will have a Safeguarding Suitability interview and child protection screening appropriate to the post, including an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, checks with past employers and a Prohibition from Teaching and Management Check. All posts are 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.
SUPPORT STAFF
As a cohesive community, it is just as important that our support staff are onboard with the communal vision and ethos of the school. There are many events throughout the year, not to mention lunchtime everyday, where students, teachers and support staff come together. It's more than just a day job, but something that you can become passionately involved with.

Higher-Level Teaching Assistant
The Higher-Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) will work under the guidance of the Director of Support for Learning and subject teachers to deliver teaching and learning opportunities that raise standards of achievement and attainment of an individual student. The HLTA will do so by utilising advanced levels of knowledge and skills to plan for, monitor and assess the student. The HLTA will encourage the student to be an independent learner and will provide for the social, emotional and mental health needs of individuals/groups, through a nurturing group approach. This is across the educational day as well as unstructured times such as breaks and lunches.
This is a permanent role and we are accepting full time and part time applications as the exact hours are not yet known. The role is to begin in September 2026.
Completed application forms should be submitted to head@frensham.org
