Teacher of Science (Chemistry specialist) 0.6 WTE job summary
St Augustine's Catholic College seeks to appoint a part-time (0.6 WTE) experienced, engaging and enthusiastic teacher of science. It is essential that applicants are able to teach chemistry A level, as well as across the three sciences at GCSE and KS3.
The exam board we use is AQA for all A levels, and we offer triple science as an option at GCSE, otherwise all students follow the trilogy AQA combined science route.
As a school we have a strong reputation for excellent results with A level science courses being ever popular choices, and many of our students go on to secure places at top universities to study engineering, medicine, and other STEM subjects.
The school's motto is 'Together we are Stronger' and that is how we seek to work as a science department - you will find welcoming and supportive colleagues who are always seeking to innovate and improve the science education of our students.
The school has a strong, non-judgemental, coaching ethos which constantly helps to develop the practice of all teachers whatever their level of experience.
All labs are equipped with dedicated practical areas, Clevertouch screens, and access to computer systems. We have recently made an investment into updating our scientific handling and recording software with new blue tooth censors which allow the projecting of real time results onto the board for demonstrations with younger years and use by our A level students.
We understand that some disabled applicants may, due to the nature of their disability, find some parts of the recruitment process challenging. We aim to ensure that all applicants are provided with the same opportunities during the recruitment process and, to that end, we strive to comply with the duties placed upon us to make reasonable adjustments as prescribed by the Equality Act 2010.
Should you have a disability and require a particular adjustment to be made to allow you to fully participate in the recruitment process, please ensure that this is made known to the person identified in the Invitation to Interview Letter when confirming your availability to attend interview. Our duty to make reasonable adjustments only applies where we know about, or ought reasonably to know about, your disability so it is important that you provide this information to us (details for the relevant person to contact will be provided in your Invitation to Interview Letter).
