Job overview

Imperial College London Mathematics School (ICLMS) will open in September 2023. The school will provide a diverse range of young people with access to a unique educational experience. The school will be located adjacent to Woodhouse College and will be part of the Frontier Learning Trust alongside the College. The school will offer A levels in mathematics, further mathematics, physics and chemistry along with additional A level options from the Woodhouse College curriculum.

 We are seeking to appoint a head of physics at Imperial College London Mathematics School. This is a full-time and permanent post. The school will open to around 40 students in September 2023 and will deliver a highly specialised A level STEM-based curriculum to enthusiastic students from north London and the wider region. The school aims to attract high achieving students from groups who do not normally progress to the most competitive university STEM courses.

The head of physics will initially be the only physics teacher at ICLMS, but as the school grows, will be responsible for leading the physics department and managing a team of physics teachers. Consequently, we are looking for someone who combines two important qualities: the expertise required to be an excellent A level teacher of physics, and an enthusiasm for the broader challenge of building a department, curriculum, and school from its inception based around a clear social mission. This will involve commitment to the broader aspects of ICLMS’s offer, including contributions to the super-curriculum, extending students beyond their A levels, and the Outreach work of the school.

This is a rare and exciting opportunity to build an exceptional physics department, and contribute to building an exceptional school.

In line with the ethos and purpose of the school, we welcome applications from teachers from groups who are currently underrepresented in STEM industries and university courses.

Salaries will be on the sixth form college teachers’ salary scale between Point 3 and Point 9 which is currently £29,367 and £42,149 depending on experience, plus £2,756 London Weighting, per annum. In addition, a responsibility allowance will also be paid for head of department duties. This will be at RA4: £2,208 per annum.

Please visit the Imperial College London Mathematics School (iclms.ac.uk) for more details and to apply.

Closing date for applications is Monday 20 February at noon. 

The Trust is committed to equality and diversity. We encourage applications from black and minority ethnic groups which are currently underrepresented. The College is committed to safeguarding and the promotion of the welfare of children, young people and vulnerable adults.
