Job overview

We require an enthusiastic teacher to join our chemistry team from April or September 2023. We are looking for a teacher who can share their expertise and love of their subject, and teach lessons which inspire and that pupils enjoy. The ability to teach a second science or maths to GCSE would be a distinct advantage. King’s College has a lively and friendly Common Room of over 50 full-time teachers, all of whom contribute to the school’s outstanding co-curricular programme of sport, music and many other activities. All teachers also tutor a small number of pupils and most undertake an evening duty in one of our boarding houses. 

King’s College is an exciting, forward-looking and rewarding school to work in. We support all staff to develop their teaching and pastoral skills, providing frequent access to high quality professional development, utilising the skills and experience of colleagues through our peer-coaching programme and tailoring professional development to each individual and their aspirations. We believe that investing in the development our staff is a key element in ensuring excellent teaching, learning and pastoral care. We are keen to embrace new ideas and technologies to ensure that teachers at King’s are at the forefront of teaching and learning innovation, and are rightly proud of the quality of pedagogy displayed daily around the school. Newly qualified teachers will be supported in completing their ECT years at King’s by the Head of Staff Induction, who has vast experience in guiding and training ECTs.
