Teacher of Science (Biology/Chemistry specialism)

Are you a fantastic Science teacher looking for a new role in a small and growing school?

We are looking to appoint an ambitious and committed teacher to join our small Science Department and drive forward our provision. You will be an effective and engaging classroom practitioner who knows how to get the best out of students and colleagues. The role will involve teaching general science in Key Stage 3, with the possibility of delivering either IBDP Biology or Chemistry in the sixth form depending on your expertise. The ability to offer a second subject will be highly advantageous. 

You will be a great communicator and passionate about supporting students to understand Science and foster enthusiasm for both theory and practical elements that this wonderful subject has to offer. A strong subject knowledge base is essential.

Southlands British International School is set on a spacious, green site in one of Europe’s most historic cities. With a role of 300 students aged 3-18 years, we have a strong commitment to the community we serve and we are passionate about the power of small class sizes in achieving both outstanding academic results and meaningful personal growth. The school is at an exciting stage of its development and this position provides an opportunity to develop leadership and teaching skills whilst working with some truly incredible students and colleagues. 

As part of the wider Globeducate group, our colleagues are supported through access to a vast professional body of expertise and active collaborative relationships with other international schools. We really value our teachers as professionals and there is great emphasis on allowing teachers the space to deliberately improve their practice through tailored CPD and external, subject-specific training.

If this sounds like the right kind of post for you, then we’d love to hear from you. Interested candidates who value a hardworking and nurturing approach to education should apply via TES and include their CV and cover letter (1 A4 side max) in supporting documentation. 

Due to the need to appoint quickly we reserve the right to interview and appoint at any time.
