Teacher of Chemistry

Welcome to KEVIGS

King Edward VI Grammar School (KEVIGS) is an 11-18 school in Louth, Lincolnshire with approximately 960 students on roll. Our ethos is to provide our students with a holistic, academic education that builds a strong foundation for life beyond school.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and talented Chemistry Teacher who is either on the MPS or an ECT.  

The Chemistry Department here at King Edward’s is very successful and all students have the option to take Triple Science at GCSE thus enabling students to specialise in Chemistry at an early age in preparation for A Level studies. Each year approximately 2/3rds of the year group will study for the Triple Science route. At A Level Chemistry is popular with two or three sets in Year 12 slimming down to two, or occasionally three in Year 13.

The Department has a consistent track record of preparing students for University and the Science department has a strong regional reputation of excellence for preparing students for entry to Medicine and Veterinary courses.

Given the numbers of students opting for Chemistry at A level, there is plenty of scope for candidates who are keen to develop their A Level teaching or who are passionate about all things Chemistry. Finally, the ability to offer KS3 Physics, or Biology is also required. 

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our students and expect all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The School reserves the right to obtain formal and informal background information about an applicant to determine whether they are suitable to work at the School. Online searches and reference checks will be undertaken on shortlisted applicants and at interview all candidates must bring with them their birth certificate and a valid passport to confirm their identity, in addition to certificates confirming education and professional qualifications. An enhanced criminal record check via the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) will be undertaken for the successful candidate, including a check of the DBS Children's Barred List. All applicants must be willing to undergo safeguarding screening appropriate to the post, including checks with the DBS and at least two satisfactory references. It is an offence to apply for the role if you are barred from engaging in regulated activity relevant to children.
