The Governing Board is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and qualified teacher of Psychology/Citizenship/Social Sciences to join the Faculty from September 2025 or earlier if possible.
The successful candidate will be an enthusiastic and suitably qualified teacher of Psychology/Citizenship/Social Sciences who is keen to play a proactive, collaborative role in developing the faculty further in the school. This role is primarily for teaching GCSE Citizenship/ Psychology at Key Stage 5. However, the department does deliver A Level Politics, A Level Sociology and Sociology at GCSE also.
The successful candidate will model at least good teaching practice and will be able to engage and inspire students of all abilities both in and out of lessons.

St. John Fisher Catholic Comprehensive School is a non-selective coeducational secondary school for students age 11-18. A single site school with free parking, we moved to world-class brand new buildings in the spring of 2023. Our mission statement is that ‘St. John Fisher Catholic Comprehensive School inspires students, spiritually and educationally forming them through Faith so that they can achieve their aspirations and contribute to their community’. As a Catholic school, we are passionate about the formation of the whole student, making sure that we develop students into good people as well as ensure they get good results.
The school is in Medway, a 30-minute distance from London by road or high-speed rail link. Medway benefits from a multimillion-pound regeneration programme bringing new housing developments and facilities for its inhabitants; it also has the lowest council tax rates in Kent. St. John Fisher also offers subsidised accommodation for employees and this will be offered to the successful candidate, should they be interested.
We are happy to offer visits and informal discussions of the role: please contact Assistant Headteacher L.Bennett@stjohnfisher.school for further information.
