Teacher of Biology

Rossall School is among the most successful and prestigious independent boarding and day schools in the North West with flourishing pupil numbers.

With an enticing and highly aspirational culture, Rossall School is offering opportunities for exceptional educators to come and work with supremely talented, inspiring and compassionate professionals to teach our hard working, ambitious and delightful pupils.

An inspiring and enthusiastic Teacher of Biology is required to join our thriving Science department. The successful applicant will be a qualified teacher or an ECT and should be able and willing to teach Biology from KS3 up to A Level standard. The ability to also teach another Science would be an advantage. Experience of the International Baccalaureate is desirable though not essential. We will also consider applications from current and potential teacher trainees.

The Science Faculty consists of 11 teaching members of staff and a number of technicians. The individual sciences are taught from Year 9 and the majority of pupils sit GCSEs in the three separate sciences. Biology, Chemistry and Physics are popular options at both A Level and within the IBDP. The Department works closely with the Rossall School Space Centre headed up by Dr Nick Lister.

The Biology Department collaborates effectively with other STEM disciplines to ensure the best organic experience for budding scientists. Recent Biology societies have included a Zoology society, a KS3 experiment skills workshop and preparation for Med/Vet university applications through activities, workshops and talks. The department also supports our pupil directed Eco Society and pupils and teachers love to be involved in the running and maintenance of the school farm.

Classrooms are well equipped with good audio visual resources. The subject is well resourced and members of the department work collaboratively to share good practice and track students’ progress.
