CHEMISTRY TEACHER

 

Wilmington Grammar School for Boys is seeking to appoint a capable and ambitious Chemistry teacher. The ideal candidate will know their subject but we are especially keen to attract candidates who perhaps are early in their teaching career or returning to the profession and want to develop their skills within a thriving and supportive Science Department.  We are passionate about inclusion, creativity and enthusiasm for the discipline and deliver a broad curriculum that builds science skills through high quality teaching and ambitious expectations.

The ideal candidate will be passionate about Chemistry and how this can be taught in an inspiring way, developing a depth of learning and a genuine passion for the subject. We are looking for someone who can spark students’ enthusiasm for the subject, and help them to see the opportunities that come with a sound grasp of a core science subject.

The department attained strong results last summer, and we are looking to continue this upward trend moving forward.

Our ideal candidate will display:

  •      A passion for teaching chemistry with evidence of enabling students to surpass expectations.
  •      Experience in teaching Science at Key Stages 3-5 with a good curriculum knowledge and understanding of GCSE and A-Level requirements in the subject 
  •      Experience of using data to push students to (and beyond) their targets.

 

Wilmington Grammar School for Boys is a good school with a strong track record of achievement.  

As well as offering you a competitive salary and access to a generous pension scheme, there are also many additional benefits of working within one of our Trust schools, some of which are summarised below:

  • A supportive and collegiate staffing team

  • Access to a range of career enhancing qualifications including National Professional Qualifications (NPQML, NPQSL, NPQH and NPQEL), as well as industry specific qualifications e.g. AAT; BIFM and Masters degrees
  • Staff social events

  • Opportunities to participate in a varied programme of school trips,
  • A policy of promoting from within (where possible).
  • Access to coaching and mentoring and an assortment of intra school and Trust to Trust collaborative opportunities

 

The closing date for applications is Wednesday 20 October with interviews from 21 October with a view to a 01 January 2022 start.
