FTE Temporary (Maternity Cover)
From November 2022
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Scientist to join a fully committed, mutually supportive and forward looking department in our 11-18 school.
Thomas Adams has a strong reputation and is regularly oversubscribed.
The department is very successful across all key stages and Science subjects are very popular at A Level. The ability to offer some Biology at both KS4 and A Level could be an advantage, although our priority will always be for an outstanding practitioner in the classroom. A willingness to be part of a team and to contribute to the overall benefit of the students is essential. The teaching of Science takes place in well-resourced, modern laboratories, supported by an experienced technician team. There are departmental TLR’s which are regularly reviewed and could be within the scope of the right candidate. The ability to offer Chemistry at KS4 and 5 could be an advantage.
Applications to be made via the DfE Teaching Vacancies application portal
