An opportunity has arisen for a talented and passionate teacher to join an outstanding Biology department at Haileybury.
The School is looking for a dynamic and committed teacher to teach from Lower School 1 through to the Upper Sixth. The Lower School pupils (Years 7 and 8) follow a bespoke course that will require teaching across the sciences. In Removes (Year 9) our pupils start the Edexcel International GCSE course. The Sixth Form pupils will undertake either A Level biology with AQA or the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. In addition, we deliver the Environmental Systems and Societies course for the IBDP.
The applicant will be educated to a degree level with a relevant Science subject and will have experience of teaching at GCSE and A Level; IB teaching is desirable but not essential. An ability to teach either chemistry or physics to GCSE level would also be advantageous but not essential. They will have an interest in fostering lifelong learning in our pupils and the ability to stretch pupils beyond the biology curriculum.
