Teacher of Chemistry

We are seeking to appoint a dynamic and engaging Teacher of Chemistry from September 2023.

Ruthin School students are high achieving, polite, attentive and self-motivated. The Science faculty (along with Mathematics) is core to the success of the school.

Most students attending Ruthin School for A Levels will take all or some of the sciences. In some years, our Chemistry specialists support in excess of 50 students to achieve Chemistry A Level. The results in Chemistry at both GCSE and A Level are outstanding.

We wish to appoint an enthusiastic and innovative practitioner to join this well-established faculty. The ability to teach across the age range from 11-18 is essential. The ability to teach another subject, in particular Biology, would be an advantage.  

Ruthin School has a strong academic record which is attained through teaching which challenges and supports in equal measure. This is supplemented with first-class pastoral care and a broad range of elective activities which allow students to develop the skills to succeed in their studies and prepare for the world of work.

The school is located in a beautiful part of the country, set on the edge of the charming, historic town of Ruthin and at the foot of the Clwydian Range (an area of outstanding natural beauty). Whilst we enjoy a rural setting, we are only an hour from Manchester and Liverpool to the East and close to the coast and Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park to the West.

 Involvement in the extra-curricular life of the school is a requirement of the role.

As part of its continuing development, Ruthin School values the positive impact that difference has on our students, and is committed to reflecting that equality and diversity in our staff body.

We encourage applications from all teachers, experienced and recently qualified, who would relish the opportunity to be part of an exciting new chapter in the school and take advantage of living and working in exceptional surroundings.

The school may be able to offer short-term en-suite single accommodation to help with relocation.
