Job overview
We are seeking a well-qualified, talented and ambitious Chemistry graduate for September 2023 to teach Chemistry throughout the School.
The expansion of the school as it goes fully co-educational, coupled with the strong uptake of Science subjects after IGCSE, has led to the need to increase teaching capacity, creating this excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic and passionate chemist to join a large, successful and thriving Science department.
This is an opportunity that might suit a talented chemistry graduate new to the teaching profession or an experienced teacher seeking a new challenge. Charterhouse runs an in-house programme training new staff and would consider appointing a candidate without a teaching qualification seeking to enter the profession.
It is expected that the successful candidate will be able to stretch and challenge the highest attaining pupils, whilst also being able to use an appropriate range of strategies to teach across the attainment range. Inspiring pupils through involvement in activities beyond the taught curriculum, such as societies and visits, is another enjoyable part of the role. An interest in teaching a second subject would be welcome, though not essential.
All applicants are expected to contribute to the wider life of the school and the overall package includes the option of accommodation with wages and benefits significantly beyond those offered in most schools.
Applications should be made in accordance with the School's application and safer recruitment procedures, via the School's website, selecting the relevant vacancy. This will take you to our online recruitment system and give you the opportunity to register and complete an application form. You will also have the opportunity to upload your latest CV.
Early applications are warmly encouraged, and a bespoke invitation to interview may be offered in advance of the closing date.
