Teacher of Biology (0.6 FTE)

We have an exciting opportunity for a qualified teacher of Biology to join our dynamic and successful Biology Department. You will be capable of teaching from Y7 through to A-Level, inspiring our students with a love of the subject and possess a willingness to take them well beyond the scope of the syllabus. There will be opportunities to work with students applying for top universities.

This is a part-time and fixed-term role - the successful candidate will be employed for up to 0.6 of an RGS teaching timetable i.e. 3 days per week (we will however consider applications that offer less than 0.6). Working days of the week are currently Monday, Wednesday, and alternating Tuesdays and Thursdays, but there is some flexibility around that, which we can explore at interview. The fixed term will be for the Spring and Summer term, commencing on 1st January 2025 and ending on 31st August 2025. There is a possibility that this role could be extended into a longer-term role.

Being 'willing to go the extra mile' is a major part of the role for all teachers at the RGS, not merely in specialist activities, but in a vast range of extra-curricular sporting, artistic and cultural work. We are keen to invite applications from those who would like to make their own distinctive contribution to this ethos. We very much value colleagues who are willing to contribute to our extra-curricular program.

This post is suitable for a range of applicants, including ECTs and experienced teachers. The RGS has its own generous salary scale and provides ECTs with an appropriate program of induction leading to QTS, valid in both sectors.

Excellent benefits are available (please see Job Information).

Closing date: 9.00am Monday 30th September 2024
