Teacher Of Physics (Fixed Term Contract)

Brighton College is seeking to appoint a Teacher of Physics on a Fixed Term Contract, between 8 April 2024 and 28 June 2024. About the Teacher of Physics role: As our Teacher of Physics you will be expected to teach physics across the curriculum, from Year 7 to A-level. An ability to contribute towards the department's extension programme, including a willingness to support pupils with applications to leading universities (including Oxbridge), will be a distinct advantage. The department also has a comprehensive Oxbridge programme, where pupils have secured 18 offers in physics and related subjects in the past 3 years. The department aims to achieve the highest academic standards and results by instilling a desire to understand and question the complexities and workings of the universe. What we're looking for in our Teacher of Physics: Many teachers joining the College have a proven track record of effective teaching, having obtained excellent public examination results with previous classes. However, we are also equally happy to appoint candidates who are currently on a PGCE, or candidates with no formal teaching qualification. Several members of our teaching staff have pursued different career paths, and have made the move to teaching at a later point. We view this diversity as a strength. We seek candidates with a demonstrable ability to thrive in an intellectually invigorating environment. The ability to inspire children is key, as is a willingness to support the ambition and values of the school and to be involved in a breadth of College life. Successful candidates will be self-reliant and adaptable, with high levels of initiative. Candidates should have a strong academic record, including a good degree in a relevant subject. Those without teaching experience must be able to demonstrate a genuine interest in young people and teaching. We will look for evidence of the capacity to contribute to the broader life of the College, and for evidence of passion and enthusiasm for the relevant subject. For the right candidate, there could be the opportunity to work in one of our international schools in due course. Safeguarding responsibilities: - This role will involve daily contact with pupils and you will be engaging in regulated activity relevant to children. - All staff and volunteers have a responsibility for promoting and safeguarding the welfare of children and young persons for who you are responsible and with whom you come into contact. Brighton College is an exciting place to work, and it is our staff who make our community such a vibrant and stimulating environment. Brighton College has its own pay scale, above the maintained sector. There is also an excellent and flexible benefits package, the contents of which can be controlled by individual teachers themselves. Generous fee remission is also available for dependent children in either the Prep School or College, subject to a place being available. All of our teachers are enrolled into the Teachers' Pension Scheme. The academic success of our school is due to excellent, innovative and well-planned teaching. Above all, therefore, we are looking for individuals who foster a passion for learning and who demonstrate an ability and genuine desire to develop pupils to their fullest potential.
