What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking to appoint an outstanding Teacher of Chemistry with drive, passion, enthusiasm and an ambition to join our Science Department in the next stage of its development and beyond. Your challenge will be to teach outstanding and interactive lessons, leading to high levels of student progress. You will be able to teach all three sciences across KS3-KS4, and Chemistry to KS5. We deliver a centralised curriculum, enabling staff to focus on planning to meet the needs of our young people through high expectations and a supportive level of challenge.

Everything that we do here at Teignmouth Community School is driven by our belief that we are all capable of being a slightly better version of ourselves tomorrow than we are today. This is underpinned by the values that, we believe, will ensure that we are all always working to be the best version of ourselves.

By working hard and never giving up we remain open to limitless opportunities for progress. We firmly believe that you have not failed until you stop trying.

As a community we have a responsibility to be kind and care for each other. We don’t need to agree with everyone, we don’t even need to understand everyone but there is absolutely nothing, other than our own fear, that stops us from accepting everyone.

And only by joining in can we develop and grow. Our characters are like muscles: if we don’t exercise them, if we never push ourselves beyond that which is comfortable then we will never grow.

Our unwavering commitment at Teignmouth Community School is to challenge and support every member of our community to be the best version of themselves.

If this sounds like the kind of community you would like to belong to then please apply.
