Our school is vibrant and diverse, serving the local area of New Malden. We value every individual and the rich wealth of experience, knowledge, values, and beliefs they bring to our school. The experience and talent you will bring to our school will ensure we continue to provide the best education for our students and further increase the breadth of opportunity for the next generation. We particularly encourage applications from colleagues in underrepresented groups.

We are looking for a Teacher of Science (a specialism in either Physics or Chemistry would be an advantage) to ensure that all students develop their understanding, enjoy the subject, and make progress. As a school, we recognise the value of research-based professional development and plan our training sessions accordingly to benefit our classrooms.

We will offer you:

• An exciting opportunity in a vibrant school
• A tailored CPD plan including financial support for ‘M’ Level study, with ongoing professional training such as National Professional Qualifications in Leadership
• A supportive department and Leadership Team
• Effective PPA allocation for better work/life balance
• Touchscreen Chromebooks with G Suite education embedded throughout
• Pension Scheme
• Employee benefits such as Cycle Scheme, Pension Schemes, and access to CSSC member benefits
• Free onsite Parking
• An enthusiastic Staff Association offering staff sport and social events
• Excellent location with direct rail links to London Waterloo (25 mins) and frequent buses to Kingston upon Thames
• Access to an Employee wellbeing programme including counselling and mentoring

Our ideal candidate will:

• Be a highly competent teacher
• Inspire and motivate staff and students
• Have a passion for their subject, evident in their daily teaching
• Be committed to being part of an innovative and forward-thinking school
• Play a full and active role in school life
