Required from September 2026
Teacher of Science and Health & Social Care
We are seeking an enthusiastic, committed and passionate full-time Teacher of Science and Health & Social Care to join the team at Hampton College on a permanent basis, from September 2026.
This role is ideal for either an experienced teacher seeking a new opportunity to further develop or an ECT looking to start their career in a supportive environment.
About the Department
The Science department at Hampton College strive to make science accessible and enjoyable to all students. Discussion of our work and a collaborative approach is most important to us, and we are constantly reviewing, developing and refining our teaching strategies.
Our schemes of work, at Key Stage 3, have been updated to follow the AQA 5-year plan in order to best support progress through the students’ time in the college; these were originally written with support from the Spectrum resources and undergo a continuous cycle of reflection and improvement. We place a large emphasis on practical work and the development of investigative skills in our lessons and the department is equipped for this purpose. ICT is regularly used to enhance learning; this will be developed further as we incorporate more activities that involve using our extensive range of data logging equipment.
Students are currently taught in mixed-ability groups in Years 7, 8 and 9. The timetable offers some flexibility in the way in which we group students, and we regularly review this.
As Key Stage 4, we are currently following courses offered in the AQA Science suite; our schemes of work have been developed from resources published by OUP and AQA. About one third of the year groups follow the separate sciences route with the rest following combined science (trilogy). We are constantly reviewing our GCSE offer to ensure we serve both the needs of our students and of the measures reported in the league tables.
Success at Key Stage 4 means that the Sciences are very popular A level choices. We follow the OCR in Biology and Chemistry, and AQA in Physics. We also deliver the Level 3 AAQ Extended Certificate in Human Biology.
Health and Social Care is a vocational subject and has rapidly increased in popularity over the last couple of years.
As a vocational qualification, Health and Social care is a popular subject which has very good links with Science, Sociology and Physical education. You will have the opportunity to cover the new OCR Specification at both Level 2 and the OCR AAQ at Level 3. Students have the opportunity to study units covering, understanding working within Health and Social care including our rights, care values communication skills and safeguarding, in addition to practical units exploring creativity and life events and their impact. At Level 3 these topics are developed further and also include mental health conditions, anatomy and physiology and long-term conditions and their treatments.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Deliver engaging lessons that inspire creativity and foster a love for your subject (s)
- Contribute to curriculum development and exciting departmental projects
- Use effective assessment strategies to support student progress and attainment
- Promote high standards of behaviour and engagement in lessons and around school
- Support students as a form tutor, working closely with the pastoral team
- Contribute to extra-curricular activities, visits and competitions to extend student learning
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Qualified to teach your subject(s) across all Key Stages
- Committed to inclusive practice and supporting students of all abilities
- Enthusiastic about contributing to the wider life of the school through clubs, trips and events
- Able to work collaboratively within a team and adapt to a dynamic school environment
- A reflective practitioner who is keen to develop professionally
We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where every member of staff feels valued and supported. We welcome applications from ECTs and experienced teachers alike. If you’re passionate about this subject area and are eager to develop your career in a supportive environment, we’d love to hear from you.
