Part time A-level Science teacher (Biology and Chemistry)

INTO is a partnership organisation working with some of the UK’s leading universities in a unique initiative that improves their competitive position in international markets. In long-term joint ventures, we deliver pathway courses for international students leading to undergraduate and postgraduate study. INTO invests in new study centres and a global network that recruits students from many cultures.

Based at the state-of-the-art INTO Centre, on the University of East Anglia campus, the successful applicants will work on our Newton A Level Programme.

This elite programme caters for high ability international and UK students who are aiming to become tomorrow’s leading medics, scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and economists and is unique within the UK as it is the only A Level course taught on a university campus which offers our students unrivalled access to UEA’s academic and social facilities.

Whilst we offer an extensive range of extra-curricular and enhancement activities including the CREST Award and EPQ, we are equally proud of our exceptional academic results and student experience. With 88% of our students achieving A*-A grades and 100% of our students achieving A*-C grades in 2016, our students’ most common set of results is routinely A*, A*, A*, A*.

Requirements

As our student numbers are increasing we require a number of part-time experienced A Level Science teachers (Biology and Chemistry) to start from September 2017. The exact hours will be finalised in conjunction with the successful applicants.

The successful applicants must hold a relevant post-graduate qualification and relevant teaching experience.

The post holders must also be highly enthusiastic and have an imaginative and adaptable approach to the delivery of the curriculum area.

As an exceptional teacher you will be able to demonstrate high standards of delivery in a consistent manner, be committed to improving achievement across all areas of your subject and have an understanding of the strategies required to accomplish this. Strong planning and organisational skills are also required.
