Job overview
Radley College are inviting applications for the role of Teacher of Physics from September 2024. This is an exciting opportunity to teach in a successful and innovative department within a friendly and collegiate school community. The department currently comprises six specialist teachers; there is a significant shared teaching experience, a real depth of subject knowledge in the team, and the atmosphere is trusting and supportive.
We have high expectations of all students and we support them to achieve their potential. An experienced teacher seeking a move into a strong department will find there is plenty of opportunity for responsibility and career development. We have also had much success in inducting those who are new to the profession. Thus we also welcome applications from those who are just finishing their studies.
Radley College is committed to the highest standards of professionalism and quality in our teaching, and can provide opportunities for teacher training and development. We have an increasingly diverse pupil intake and we are looking to increase diversity within our Common Room. We therefore encourage and welcome applicants from all backgrounds. Some of our staff joined Radley straight from university, others after taking a PGCE. Some have taught in independent schools, others have not – and some had not taught before. For some, teaching has become their second (or third) career. There may be opportunities for those who don’t have teaching experience to gain a PGCE during their time at Radley.
A willingness to be fully involved in the extra-curricular life of a busy and thriving boarding school is essential. The school has its own generous salary scale with additional benefits including free private medical insurance, a generous defined contribution pension scheme, life insurance and income protection.
Further details, including an application form, are on the school’s website: www.radley.org.uk
Deadline for applications is 11 am, Wednesday 17 April 2024 with interviews to take place on Thursday 25 April.
Radley College is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
