Are you seeking a role that offers intellectual challenge, real responsibility, and a direct pathway into teaching?

An exceptional opportunity is available for an outstanding Oxford or Cambridge graduate to join a highly ambitious secondary school in Ealing as an Academic Mentor. This role is specifically designed to attract individuals with elite academic backgrounds who are considering a future in teaching and want to gain meaningful, high-impact experience before progressing into a fully supported teacher training pathway.

This is a forward-thinking, high-expectation secondary school that is rapidly gaining recognition for its academic ambition and transformational outcomes. With a culture rooted in scholarship, discipline, and aspiration, the school is committed to ensuring students — regardless of background — can access top university destinations, including Oxbridge.

The leadership team is exceptional, combining vision with a deep commitment to staff development. Graduates who join the school are not just supported — they are strategically developed into future educators and leaders.
