Head of Science

Job description

A leading independent school on the Kent borders require a Head of Science from September 2022. This is a permanent position which would entail assisting in the management of the Biology, Chemistry, and Physics departments, including leading on strategy and assessment for the department, as well as teaching your specialist subject to A Level. Free accommodation is available.

Essential: A successful track record of teaching your specialist subject to A Level, and holding a position of responsibility.

Desired: Prior experience as a HOD (Biology, Chemistry or Physics), and a background in the independent sector would be a bonus, however, this is certainly not essential.

Their last inspection found that the quality of relationships between staff and pupils, and amongst the pupils themselves is outstanding. The ethos of the school is one which cultivates an appetite for achievement, a determination to succeed and a lifelong love of learning. Within the classroom, they encourage pupils to strive for the highest academic standards, to seize the many learning opportunities provided and to celebrate their achievements and those of their peers.
