Join to apply for the Teacher of Physics (to KS5) and Science (KS3 to KS4) - September 2025 role at Harrodian

The Science department at Harrodian is driven by a team of passionate and talented individuals who are now seeking an equally committed Physics specialist to join us in September 2025. Whether with a few years of teaching under their belt or a seasoned professional seeking a fresh challenge, the successful candidate should be well-qualified, highly motivated and have an active interest in educational technology (EdTech).

With demonstrable experience in KS3 and KS4 science, and KS5 Physics, the ideal candidate will be innovative in their approach to lesson planning and delivery. In addition, there may be an opportunity for a TLR for the position of KS3 Science coordinator. If suitably qualified, the successful candidate will be invited to apply for this role.

We offer both AQA GCSE Separate Science and Combined Science Trilogy, as well as the AQA A-Level Biology, Chemistry and Physics courses. We are continually developing our range of teaching resources, including our tech-driven materials for the optimum use of student iPads within lessons. Practical work is integral to our science teaching and we provide a diverse range of opportunities for pupils to develop their skills in our seven well-equipped laboratories.

As a committed member of the team, the successful candidate will contribute to the planning, teaching and assessment within the department. The ability to communicate effectively and share new ideas is therefore essential. In addition, a commitment to delivering co-curricular Science and assisting with our key extended-curricular events, such as our annual Science Week and trips where students can develop their interests, is key.

Founded in 1993, the Harrodian is a co-educational school set on 25 acres of grounds with excellent facilities. Providing staff and students alike with a welcoming and exceptional learning environment, where small class sizes and high standards foster academic excellence, we value enthusiasm, adaptability and a commitment to student engagement across all ability levels. A sense of fun, responsiveness to individual learning needs, and an open approach to teaching are qualities we regard highly. Staff are also expected to contribute to the pastoral and co-curricular life of the school, ensuring a holistic and enriching educational experience for all pupils.

This is a full-time, permanent position. Working hours during term time are: Mondays from 08h00 to 17h00 and Tuesdays to Fridays from 08h15 to 17h00.

Benefits

Harrodian offers a range of benefits, including a free car park (on a first come first served basis), a cycle to work scheme, free refreshments and lunches during term time, free access to some of the School’s sport and leisure facilities at stipulated times, access to an ongoing cycle of cultural, musical, theatrical and sporting talks and events, and a defined contribution pension scheme.
