Job overview

Physics Teacher (part-time, variable hours 0.5 - 0.7 full time equivalent)

Required from September 2018, to teach small classes of girls in Years 7 to 11

We welcome applications from qualified teachers (QTS) who hold a degree in Science and have taught Science to at least GCSE level for four or five years, with a proven track record of high achievement. This is an ideal opportunity to join a unique environment where your knowledge and ability will make a significant contribution to both the formal and extra-curricular life of the school. 

Dodderhill Independent Girls is a school like no other! With smaller classes and a high teacher to pupil ratio, both staff and girls alike have the time and space to really focus in class. The school has outstanding facilities and was rated 'Outstanding' and 'Excellent' in all areas, by both ISI and Ofsted Inspectors in 2017.

At Dodderhill our expectations of pupils, and the expectations of their parents, are high. One of the reasons that parents make the decision to invest in their children’s education here is our small classes. Working with small groups gives our teachers the opportunity to know accurately the capabilities of each child in their class and so learning is personalised to the individual. 

Our parents are very interested in their children’s education and will work with you to make sure that their child receives all the support and encouragement they need.

Our parents particularly value the emphasis we place on good manners and behaviour. The level of pastoral care our pupils receive means that many of our parents think of Dodderhill as a second family.

You will be joining a warm, friendly and committed team, who will help you to settle into school life quickly.

The salary will be in accordance with Dodderhill's pay scale for Teachers, commensurate with qualifications and experience. Other benefits include free on-site car-parking, free lunch, Teachers' Pension scheme, Simply Health scheme and staff discount on school fees.

For further details about the school, please visit the School's website.

Dodderhill School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is conditional on verified references, medical clearance and an enhanced DBS check and Registration. Dodderhill School is an Equal Opportunities employer.

About RGS Dodderhill

Introduction - The Royal Grammar School, Dodderhill is one of the leading independent girls’ day schools in the West Midlands. The school was founded in 1945 as the senior girls' school of Whitford Hall, a well-established prep school located in Bromsgrove. In April 2019, Dodderhill Independent Girls School merged with RGSW (The Royal Grammar School Worcester) and became known as RGS Dodderhill.

Our School - RGS Dodderhill is a very special and unique school that provides a girls’ only education within a secluded, tranquil setting. Our Nursery provides a Co-educational environment for boys and girls ages 2+. We maintain an exclusive small school environment that allows girls to grow up at their own pace whilst receiving a first class education from our highly qualified and dedicated staff. The small class sizes allow staff to get to know every child inside and out as well as ensuring that every child’s needs are catered for. 

Across the four schools, in the family of RGSW schools, we share a mission to inspire high academic standards and promote co-curricular opportunities. RGS Dodderhill is a very happy school for both pupils and staff members. 

Traditional values and manners co-exist with a forward thinking school that embraces the best of modern technology and teaching to ensure that when our girls leave us, they are outstanding young women, fully equipped for the changes of the 21st Century.

Our Vision - Educating girls for future success.
