Job Overview
Are you a highly skilled, creative and ambitious Teacher of Science?
- Are you seeking your first teaching role or seeking a new challenge and the opportunity to join a highly successful school where staff well-being is central to all decision making?
- Do you have a passion for teaching and a commitment to providing students an exceptional experience?
- Do you want to work in a department with ten, well resourced, dedicated laboratories, excellent access to computers and a highly talented, supportive team of technicians?
- Can you deliver high quality, engaging science lessons and contribute to the continued success of a department where results are above national averages and sixth form recruitment is strong?
- Do you believe in an inclusive environment where all learners can be successful?
- Would you like to work in a school where “Leaders, including governors, value the work of staff and where new teachers speak highly of the support they are given”? (Ofsted June 2023)
If the answer to any of these questions is “yes” then we would love to hear from you.
Waingels, a popular 11-18 school where students achieve above national average and was identified as “continuing to be good” in a recent OFSTED inspection, is seeking to appoint an experienced Teacher of Science to add further capacity to this highly successful, popular subject. The ability to teach A-level chemistry is an advantage but other Science disciplines will be considered.
