Teacher of Chemistry (One Year Fixed Term)

Required for September 2025

We are a school that values diversity and individual contribution, supporting and encouraging staff to pursue their interests and achieve their ambitions. If you are looking for the opportunity to work in a large and highly successful department, then we would like to hear from you.

If you are an inspiring and versatile teacher open to a one- year fixed term appointment to cover a period of maternity leave and looking for the opportunity to work in a successful and flourishing department, then we would like to hear from you. The post would suit either a newly qualified teacher or a teacher seeking further experience. All current staff teach across the whole age range from Year 7 to A level with some teaching A Level extension lessons. There is also flexibility within this one-year contract to teach up to GCSE only. You will also be keen to advance the standing of an already strong department and to play an active role in the academic and extra-curricular life of a lively, positive and high achieving school. Ideally you would also be able to offer teaching in a second science.

Diversity – The School is fully committed to the principles of equal opportunity, diversity and inclusion. We have an established and representative staff Equality and Diversity Board to help drive forward positive change. A further Equality and Diversity Committee has recently been formed from our student population.

We are committed to attracting and retaining the very best staff, ensuring that our staff body reflects the diversity of our students and local community. Acknowledging a lack of ethnic diversity within our staff community, we particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic candidates for this role. All appointments will be made on merit, following a fair and transparent process. In line with the Equality Act 2010, however, the School may employ positive action where diverse candidates can demonstrate their ability to perform the role equally well.

To find out more about the school and our attractive staff benefits package, including an onsite gym, free lunch, multi-faith room, library and the possibility of on-site accommodation, please visit our website and view the section “Join our Team”.

Closing date: 9am 19 March 2025

Interviews will be held on 26 March 2025

We will review applications as they are submitted and suitable candidates may be interviewed before the closing date. We therefore reserve the right to withdraw the position if an early appointment is made.

The School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All posts are subject to an enhanced DBS check, online checks and receipt of two satisfactory references
