Full-Time Science Teacher Required - Leading Independent College in Cambridge (September 2025 Start - Key Stage 4 & 5 Essential)

Our leading independent college in the intellectually rich city of Cambridge seeks a dedicated and experienced Full-Time Teacher of Science to join our thriving department and make a profound difference to the scientific understanding, analytical prowess, and experimental capabilities of our students across Key Stage 4 and, crucially, Key Stage 5, commencing in September 2025.

Key Responsibilities Include:

* Planning, preparing, and delivering highly effective and stimulating Science lessons across Biology, Chemistry, and/or Physics that cater to the diverse learning needs and high aspirations of our students across all relevant key stages.

* Fostering students' deep understanding of key scientific concepts, theories, and problem-solving techniques, with a strong emphasis on the comprehensive demands of the A-Level specifications.

* Encouraging rigorous analytical thinking, the construction of well-supported scientific arguments, and confident practical experimentation and data analysis.

* Assessing and tracking student progress in Science across all relevant key stages, providing insightful and constructive feedback, and implementing effective intervention strategies to ensure excellent outcomes, particularly for A-Level students.

* Contributing actively to the development, implementation, and rigorous review of the Science curriculum across all relevant key stages, ensuring alignment with examination specifications and providing extensive opportunities for scientific enrichment.

* Utilising and contributing to the development of high-quality Science resources, including practical equipment, digital simulations, and real-world application examples.

* Contributing to extracurricular activities that promote scientific understanding within the college community (e.g., science clubs, Olympiads, lecture visits at local university departments).

* Collaborating effectively with colleagues within the Science department and across the wider college to foster a rich and interdisciplinary learning environment.

* Engaging in ongoing professional development to enhance teaching practice and keep abreast of current developments in science and pedagogy, with a strong focus on A-Level teaching and assessment.

The Ideal Candidate Will Possess:

* Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent teaching qualification.

* A degree in a Science discipline (Biology, Chemistry, Physics) or a closely related highly relevant scientific field.

* Successful and demonstrable experience teaching Science across Key Stage 4 (GCSE) and, crucially, A-Level (specialism in at least two of Biology, Chemistry, or Physics highly advantageous).

* A strong and up-to-date understanding of the A-Level Science curricula and relevant examination specifications.

* Exceptional pedagogical skills and the ability to differentiate instruction to meet the needs of all learners, particularly the academic rigour and depth required at Key Stage 5.

* A profound passion for Science and the ability to inspire and stretch students' critical thinking, analytical, and practical skills.

* Outstanding communication, interpersonal, and organisational skills.

* A steadfast commitment to the safeguarding and well-being of students and the promotion of scientific understanding within our vibrant Cambridge college community.

Join our leading Science department in Cambridge from September 2025 and play a vital role in shaping the scientific understanding and future success of our students across all key stages, with a key focus on A-Level excellence
