Teacher of Latin

This is an exceptional opportunity to join Uppingham’s respected Classics department, where Latin holds a central place in the curriculum from Year 7 through to A Level. You will teach intellectually engaged pupils across multiple year groups, working within a specialist team in dedicated facilities at the heart of the school.

You will also be a tutor to one of our boarding houses, where you will contribute meaningfully to pastoral care and the wider life of the school community. Uppingham seeks educators who are committed not only to academic excellence but to the holistic development of young people. You will work within a collegiate environment that values professional development, supports continuous improvement, and celebrates the contributions teachers make beyond the classroom.

About you

We seek a highly accomplished Latin teacher with strong subject knowledge, a good degree, and demonstrable excellence in the classroom. You will possess excellent communication skills, effective classroom management, high professional standards, and well-developed pastoral instincts. An appreciation of boarding school life and a willingness to contribute generously to the wider school community are essential. Teaching Classical Greek and/or Classical Civilisation at A Level would be advantageous.
