We require a well-qualified teacher of Psychology to teach A level in a Science Faculty that achieves excellent results and high standards.  We are looking for an enthusiastic and imaginative individual to help all our students to achieve their potential and enjoy the journey along the way. The ability to offer other subjects would be an advantage for any candidate wishing to increase their teaching hours - see our website for our full curriculum offer.  You will join an outstanding and committed Science Faculty.  Exam results in Science subjects at BHGS are consistently significantly above national averages.  ECTs are welcome to apply.

Visitors frequently tell us that their first impression of our school is of a friendly, lively and stimulating community where we emphasise the importance of the individual’s contribution and take pleasure in sharing and celebrating achievement.  They commend the good behaviour of the pupils and their thirst for knowledge. Bishop’s is a diverse community that offers mutual support and encouragement and expects everyone within it to respect others’ cultures, religion and beliefs.  We hope that the values, self-discipline and sense of personal worth that pupils gain here will be a support throughout their lives as British and Global Citizens. We welcome applications from BAME candidates or from other groups that are underrepresented in the UK education system.

This is an exciting opportunity to join the school at a time of growth and development. Science subjects make a huge contribution to the life of the school and we are looking for a candidate who will help to extend this work. 

Bishop’s Hatfield Girls’ School has around 900 pupils on roll including the Sixth Form.  We are fully committed to our values of teamwork, respect, honesty, trust, kindness and ambition. In February 2016 the school successfully completed its sixth OFSTED inspection and was graded Outstanding. The school has recently benefited from a total rebuild on the same site and enjoys excellent state of the art facilities.  BHGS holds International School Status and is a Fairtrade School.  Hatfield is within easy reach of London and other areas and the London Fringe Allowance is payable.

The school's Admissions’ Code gives priority places to children of staff and we give high priority to staff development. Staff are able to apply for our Professional Development Award which provides bursary payments to help finance CPD that goes beyond the school’s usual training programme.

We take safeguarding of our students extremely seriously and an enhanced disclosure will be sought through the Disclosure and Barring Service as part of the school’s pre-employment checks.
