Teaching Staff Vacancies

At the West London Free School, we aim to build a culture of sustainable success. We have a stable body of staff who feel supported and fulfilled.

• We have clear, evidence-informed, pragmatic approaches to teaching and learning, as summarised in our Seven Principles of a WLFS Lesson (see here). 
• Workload is closely monitored throughout the school year, and systems are refined to be as efficient and hassle free, so that teachers can spend as much time as possible focusing on the core component of their job: teaching.
• Paperwork and form-filling is kept to an absolute minimum.
• Senior leaders see it as their responsibility to ensure all teachers can teach without disruption. School rules are non-negotiable, and poor behaviour is met by escalating sanctions.
• Our annual staff survey is conducted by EdSRS, and in 2023 revealed that 100% of teaching staff would recommend the WLFS to other teachers as a good place to work (84% nationally); 71% said that staff morale is high (47% nationally); and 87% said that the SLT are highly visible and approachable (71% nationally).

See below the job listings for testimonials from some of our current staff. 

The safeguarding and well-being of our pupils is of the utmost importance. We follow Safer Recruiting procedures for all job applicants.  

If the vacancy we advertise is not for you and you would like to work for us, please send your CV to register your interest to Manuela Manfredini, HR Manager - M.Manfredini@ks-t.org. We look forward to hearing from you.

Testimonials from Staff Survey

I have been afforded countless opportunities to professionally develop, and always felt supported by my colleagues in doing so. The Trust and School are the types of institution that do not rest on their laurels and strive for excellence within a culture of continual improvement that matches my own ethos.  It is wonderful to work in an organisation where that is the case.

WLFS Teacher

To borrow a fairy-tale motif, for me The West London Free School is ‘just right’. Some schools achieve excellent outcomes at the expense of staff and pupil welfare whilst others fail to challenge students and teachers alike. Neither is true of this school. Here, pupils receive a meaningful, academic education and teachers are respected. It’s why I’ll be working here for many years to come.

WLFS Head of Year

It is a joy to work at the West London Free School as part of such a committed and skilled team of teaching and support staff. Together we have created an outstanding Sixth Form that supports all in securing excellent university offers as well as achieving educational outcomes they can be proud of.
