Teacher of Physics

Tes is supporting the appointment for a Teacher of Physics at a college based in Cambridgeshire.

The college is one of the top performing colleges for international students in the UK. They specialise in helping students from across the world achieve the personal, social and academic growth needed to thrive at the UK’s best universities.

They are currently looking for an enthusiastic Teacher of Physics to join their team from January or April 2023.

The Physics department at the college is made up of six teaching staff and one technician. Subjects are taught at Edexcel IGCSE and A-level (both traditional 2-year programmes and their 18-month courses, beginning in January rather than September – catering for overseas markets with alternative timelines).

The Physics department is a friendly and collaborative team from a range of backgrounds. The diversity of their students and staff creates an open and engaging culture, built around mutual respect, humour and the sharing of best practice. The team meets regularly to discuss key elements of transferable teaching practice, student support and intervention. Differentiated resources and detailed schemes of work are available for all courses but individual teacher adaption is encouraged and welcomed.

Some particularly unique aspects of their Physics department include the Celestron telescope (controlled by a Sky-Walker EQ6 Pro) and our new QIDI Tech X-Plus 3D printer.

Your duties and responsibilities will include the following:

•  Delivering high quality lessons.
• Facilitating the college’s goal of high student academic achievement.
• Informing parents about student progress.
• Engaging in the college’s pastoral care for all students in the college.
• Engaging in appraisals and reviews, and taking part in training and development.
