Teacher of Physics

Emanuel School is seeking an ambitious Teacher of Physics to become a key member of our teaching community and challenge and inspire our pupils to achieve their full potential in Physics.

You will deliver enthusiastic and engaging teaching, inspiring motivated pupils with high aspirations, working alongside specialist teachers with a deep knowledge and love of the subject.

Pupils study a combined Science course in years 6 and 7, and the person appointed should expect some lower school teaching in these year groups to form part of their timetable as well as teaching Physics across the age ranges from Y8 to Upper Sixth.

As well as delivering excellent classroom teaching, all staff at Emanuel undertake a pastoral role (as a form tutor, or as a co-tutor if an ECT) and get involved in the wider life of the school through co-curricular activities and outreach programmes.

We are looking for someone with good subject knowledge, seeking to develop their skills in our school. We welcome applications from ECTs as well as experienced teachers with a proven excellent record of teaching Physics at GCSE and A level.

Working at Emanuel

There is always a buzz at Emanuel. Colleagues enjoy their work and, like the pupils, are ambitious for the school. With a weekly staff briefing, half termly staff meetings, termly consultative group meetings and a common room committee, all of us are engaged in a lively ongoing dialogue about the school’s aims and aspirations.

Everyone works hard here, and anyone joining us should expect to do the same and share our commitment to the highest standards. At the same time our ethos remains unpretentious, kindly and practical, and there’s a strong sense of community and friendship at the school.

We aim to look after our staff well: we have an appraisal scheme with a focus on employees’ professional development; we sponsor postgraduate courses and a range of training opportunities; we offer salary sacrifice childcare vouchers through TEDS Premier, we offer a healthcare plan via Simply Health that includes counselling and medical support; and we’re committed to supporting staff wellbeing. Financially, all staff benefit from good pension provision and free lunches.
