The Opportunity

Join an elite independent school renowned for its scientific heritage and world-class laboratory facilities.

• Practical Excellence: Designing and delivering undergraduate-spec practical experiments. You will be supported by a dedicated lab technician for your specific subject area.

• Research Mentorship: Supervising students through their Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) in STEM subjects, guiding them through experimental design and data analysis.

• STEM Outreach: Leading the "Young Scientists" program and coordinating the school’s participation in the Science Olympiads.

Benefits & Environment

• Custom-built, subject-specific laboratories with a dedicated office space for every teacher.

• Interest-free season ticket loans, free high-quality school lunches, and a cycle-to-work scheme.

• Professional autonomy—we believe in trusting our experts to teach in the way that best suits their subject and their students.
