Do you have what it takes to lead our successful and experienced Chemistry department? Chemistry at Wycliffe is popular at GCSE and A level, with pupils frequently using it as a route to university. With the current Head of Department retiring, an exciting opportunity has arisen to head the team in this friendly, well-resourced and diverse faculty. If you are a well-qualified, excellent teacher, committed to the highest standards in teaching and learning, and would love the chance to take the pedagogical lead, this is the post for you. Applications are welcomed from existing Heads of Department and from those seeking their first steps in leadership.
We welcome applications from across all sectors and backgrounds. Wycliffe values diversity and seeks to be an inclusive community. What matters are your skills as a Chemistry teacher, your ability to know what good teaching and learning look like, and your capacity to support the development of others. The ideal candidate will align these qualities with a determination to succeed and aspirational ambition for the pupils studying Chemistry.
Wycliffe’s highly-regarded Teaching Philosophy is based on evidence-informed practice, staff development and a passion for teaching and learning. We encourage a collaborative approach to planning and teaching, with teachers sharing and discussing ideas on a daily basis.
The College is justifiably proud of its outstanding co-curricular and pastoral provision and the successful candidate will be expected to discuss these areas at interview and explain how they will play a full part in them. College accommodation, suitable for a single person or couple, may be available for the first twelve months in post to support someone moving into the Gloucestershire area.
If you share our vision and want to work in an outstanding environment with a supportive Common Room, and relish the challenge of teaching the full range of ability levels, why not join us in our beautiful Gloucestershire home?
Completed applications should be sent to the HR Manager hr@wycliffe.co.uk by 12pm on the 1st February 2023.
Interviews will be held 10th February.
