3 days to Full Time, with flexibility for the right candidate 

Notting Hill & Ealing High School, one of London’s leading independent day schools, has an exciting opportunity for an inspirational Teacher of Biology to contribute to a successful Science Department in both its curricular and extra-curricular activities.

We are looking for a well-qualified teacher of Biology with a passion for the subject and excellent subject knowledge, with good organisational and time management skills. 

If you are a good communicator who can enthuse and inspire about the teaching of Biology and the ways in which it can be further developed and encouraged, we would be delighted to hear from you.

The school offers training and welcomes applications from candidates who may be new to the classroom. 

Science at NHEHS

Science is valued highly at the school with excellent A level uptake and students frequently going off to top universities for further study such as Natural Sciences at Durham, Medicine at Cambridge and Neuroscience at UCL in recent years. The department fosters a love of science from an early age with a dedicated science teacher in the Junior School. This passion develops in the Senior School through inspirational teaching alongside innovative subject activities, many of which are the initiative of our proactive Sixth Form Subject Representatives. For example, Aeronautics Club and Dissection Club have attracted a devoted following among KS3 students, ably guided by the sixth form subject reps. Science Week is also an annual high profile highlight, with a previous years keynote speaker being Lord Winston.

Teaching at NHEHS

“Teaching here is all about being able to have in-depth conversations with students about your subject and helping to enthuse them with the same passion as you have. Teaching at NHEHS is exactly what I imagined teaching would be like when I got my first teaching job; it’s what teaching should be!”
