We invest heavily in our team members who enjoy industry-leading professional development, exceptional career opportunities, and mobility across our group.

ROLE SUMMARY:

King's College School, Cascais is one of the recent additions to the Inspired Group. The Senior School currently has Years 7-10, and has undergone rapid growth since opening. Pupils primarily study the Cambridge International curriculum alongside IGCSEs from examination boards. When Year 12 opens in September 2026, the school plans to run the International Baccalaureate.
The College has fast established a reputation for excellence in Portugal and is set to become one of the most highly prized education schools not only in Portugal but beyond. Its location in one of the most prized districts in Portugal together with its unrivalled facilities and outstanding staff has led to its remarkable growth in its student roll.

The College is launching its boarding provision in the 2024-25 academic year. Facilities include provision for up to 50 pupils, all situated within the College walls on a campus above the main secondary building with stunning views of the Sintra mountains and the Atlantic coast. Boarders and boarding staff will have access to the school facilities including a 25m swimming pool, tennis and padel courts, gyms, basketball courts, dance and music facilities and 5G astroturf for multiple sports including football and rugby.
This is an exciting time to join the team as we are designing our growth roadmap and new staff will be able to actively participate in this project.
While this is an organization committed to academic excellence, we believe that this is only possible if we are also committed to the personal and professional growth of our staff.

Our ideal candidate would have experience teaching Chemistry, Biology, or Physics within a UK-style GCSE curriculum, as well as A-level or IB programmes.
