Once more I'm supporting Peponi School as they recruit various specialist teachers to teach IGCSE and A level at this very successful HMC senior school in Kenya.
Set in a spacious country campus just a few miles outside Nairobi, Peponi is one of the top schools in Africa, offering a British-style education that also reflects the location and the additional opportunities that Kenya provides.
With a family feel and a happy, friendly culture where people know and support one another, Peponi achieves excellent academic results and gives outstanding pastoral support to its students. Modern buildings provide some fabulous teaching facilities, sports and the arts are extremely strong, and there is an extensive co-curricular programme. The focus is on quality, values, and the individual, rather than churning out pupils from a sausage machine as is the case at so many other schools.
Kenya is a terrific country and a teacher's lifestyle at Peponi is very much better than in many other parts of the world. Excellent reward packages include on-site accommodation, car loans and medical insurance, plus relocation support for ex-pat staff. The bustling city of Nairobi is just down the road, and there is amazing countryside with great scenery and abundant wildlife. During school holidays the beaches of Mombasa are world-class and it is easy to travel to Asia, Europe and of course other parts of Africa.
For September there are several really exciting openings for enthusiastic, capable teachers. We're looking for people who are genuinely aspirational for each and every one of their pupils, and who can deliver innovative and stimulating lessons and tutorials to A level.
The specific vacancies are:
- Director of Studies / Assistant Head UPDATE: NOW FILLED
- Biology - two posts UPDATE: NOW FILLED
- English UPDATE: NOW FILLED
- Drama UPDATE: NOW FILLED
- RS/RE UPDATE: NOW FILLED
The Drama job is particularly exciting because the school has some of the best performance facilities in the region and is expanding its Drama offer as a result.
If you're interested, or if you know anyone who might be, all these positions are being advertised on the TES website. I'm also very happy to send details directly, to answer any questions and to discuss the roles in complete confidence. Feel free to contact me via this website.
