We require an enthusiastic and well-qualified teacher to join our Science team from the start of the Summer Term 2025 (or two weeks before the Easter holidays if possible). We are looking for a teacher who can share their expertise and love of their subject, and teach lessons which inspire and that pupils enjoy. King’s College has a lively and friendly Common Room of over 50 full-time teachers, all of whom contribute to the school’s outstanding co-curricular programme of sport, music and many other activities. The ability to contribute to this programme would be a distinct advantage. All teachers also tutor a small number of pupils and undertake an evening duty in one of our boarding houses, the Sixth Form Centre or the library. King’s College is an exciting, forward-looking and rewarding school to work in. We support all staff to develop their teaching and pastoral skills, providing frequent access to high quality professional development, utilising the skills and experience of colleagues through our peer-coaching programme and tailoring professional development to each individual and their aspirations. We believe that investing in the development our staff is a key element in ensuring excellent teaching, learning and pastoral care. We are keen to embrace new ideas and technologies to ensure that teachers at King’s are at the forefront of teaching and learning innovation, and are rightly proud of the quality of pedagogy displayed daily around the school.
