Teacher generic job descriptions

The following generic and exemplar job descriptions/person specifications for teachers have been developed to support schools in a range of areas. These include:

recruiting new staff when filling a vacancy
revising the roles of existing staff
updating existing documentation
conducting performance management processes
revising staffing structures or restructuring

These job descriptions have been developed using the School Teachers Pay and Conditions document, the revised professional standards for teachers and through consultation with schools and professional associations.

They may be used in their entirety or plagiarised to suit individual needs. However, it is recommended that you look carefully through both the job description and corresponding person specification to ensure they meet your needs. All documents are in Microsoft Word format.
