Principal Teacher of Social Subjects - Hamilton College

Hamilton College is more than a school - it is a journey - a journey in education, in developing talents and gifts and in creating self-belief. Hamilton College is a non-denominational Christian independent school for children and young people from the ages of 2-18. The school encompasses Nursery, Junior, Middle and Upper levels generating a truly 'family' atmosphere for the individual as they journey through the school.

We are seeking to appoint an inspirational leader to take up the position of Principal Teacher of Social Subjects from October 2025. Responsible to the Director of Education, this role encompasses learning and teaching learners from 2 – 18 across the curriculum.

The opportunity exists due to the retiral of a long-standing Principal Teacher of Social Subjects. For the right candidate, this offers tremendous professional and personal growth with the intrinsic enjoyment of playing a key role in an outstanding school and community.
