About This Role
Are you looking for a role that will challenge you, support your development and immerse you in the thriving life of one of the UK’s leading boarding schools?
Shrewsbury School is seeking graduate Teaching Fellows to join its friendly and purposeful community. These roles offer excellent opportunities for final-year undergraduates or recent graduates to gain hands-on experience in classroom teaching, pastoral care and the wider co-curricular life of the School.
