Head of Drama

Pembroke House is a traditional, full-boarding, coeducational IAPS school of roughly 240 pupils aged 6 months to 13 years, set in the Rift Valley, Kenya. The school has a reputation for providing an outstanding all-round education with a quality of pastoral care that is second to none. Whilst known traditionally for its sporting achievements, academic standards at Pembroke House are high and all pupils are prepared for 13+ Common Entrance or scholarship examinations. The majority of children move on to schools in the UK and in recent years an impressive number of awards have been won – including academic, sport, art, drama and all-round scholarships.

We are seeking applicants with a passion for teaching, mixed with drive, energy and a delight to see children achieve their very best. A willingness to contribute to the bustling extra-curricular life of a busy boarding school is vital, as is a readiness to coach within the mix of sports in which Pembroke boys and girls are so successful.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a dynamic and passionate teacher to join Pembroke House School as Head of Drama.

We are looking for a creative teacher who is highly motivated and is able to enthuse, engage and inspire children through their teaching. The successful candidate will work towards and support the School vision to deliver a unique learning experience to every child, every day.

Successful applicants will teach children within Years 1 - 8 as well as preparing pupils for scholarship examinations at 13+.

A willingness to contribute to the sporting, extra-curricular and boarding life of the school is essential. In addition, the ability to teach a second academic subject would be a distinct advantage. This is a full-time teaching post and as such you are accountable to the Head, who should be kept informed of all progress and affairs at school.

Potential applicants should request a job description, application form and supporting documentation by email from recruitment@pembrokehouse.sc.ke, whence any further information regarding the post may also be obtained.

The application form is also available on the Pembroke House website. 

All shortlisted applicants will be contacted within 14 days of the closing date of the advert. Due to the sheer number of applications that we receive we are unable to contact any applicants who are not shortlisted.
