Job overview
Job title: Teacher of Science (Biology or Chemistry)
Salary: MPS/UPS + London Fringe.
Hours: Part time / full time
Responsible to: Head of Faculty for Science
Contract: Permanent
Required for September 2023 a well-qualified teacher of Science to teach across the age and ability range, in a faculty that achieves excellent results and high standards. Science is largely taught as separate subjects and specialists in Biology or Chemistry (or in combination) are encouraged to apply. This post is available to full-time or part-time staff. Candidates willing to teach other subjects, such as Mathematics, are welcome to apply, but this is not a requirement.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and imaginative individual to join a supportive and committed Science Faculty. The Faculty is exceptionally well resourced, with new laboratories and modern equipment. The enrichment offered to pupils is extensive including an annual Science Fair, Forensic Science Day, engineering visits, Biology and Physics Weeks and many other visits and guest speakers. The friendly and collaborative work environment in Science encourages continuous professional development and career progression for staff. We welcome applications from ECTs as well as experienced teachers.
Visitors tell us that our school is 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’ identity, 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 930 pupils on roll including the Sixth Form. We are fully committed to our values of teamwork, respect, honesty, trust, kindness and ambition. The school successfully completed its most recent OFSTED inspection in December 2022 and was judged to continue to be Outstanding. The school has benefited from a total rebuild on the same site and enjoys excellent state of the art facilities. BHGS holds International School Status, the Music Mark 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.
