For September 2025, Forres Sandle Manor seeks to appoint an individual who is an enthusiastic and innovative teacher, with energy and drive.
We are looking for an inspirational, dedicated and caring teacher who has the required experience to teach Chemistry up to GCSE. A willingness to contribute to the wide co-curricular and community activity of a lively day and boarding school situated in this beautiful part of the UK is essential.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to join our small, friendly and caring community of staff and students and enjoy teaching small classes (currently averaging 14) of polite, respectful and hardworking students as well as benefiting from terms and conditions which include a maximum of 83% directed teaching time and over 16 weeks holiday per year.
Our school is currently experiencing a period of significant growth and expansion, which has resulted in the creation of this role. The postholder will enjoy working alongside some remarkable colleagues and children, in a truly wonderful and inspirational setting which places children at the very heart of all it does.
This new role has been created at an exciting time for the Science faculty. Since September 2024, in addition to specialist Science teaching in Years 5 and 6, all pupils in Years 7 and above study Biology, Chemistry and Physics as separate subjects. This continues through to GCSE, with the ambition that all of our pupils achieve 3 separate Science qualifications.
This development will be supported by our new multi-million-pound STEAM building, which will include 3 specialist science laboratories, each purposefully designed to support an outstanding practical science experience for the pupils. Furthermore, we have already introduced a Science and Technology scholarship pathway for pupils entering Year 7 and Year 9 and we would value the postholder’s contributions to ensuring we continue to extend and inspire our most able young scientists.
Although we have a proud history as a day and boarding school, this role does not involve any boarding or weekend duties, although these are available (for additional remuneration) to the successful candidate.
Closing date for applications is 12 noon on 7th February.
Salary: Competitive and dependent upon skills and experience.
Application Process: Please complete an Application Form and return to recruitment@fsmschool.com, along with your covering letter addressed to Mr Mark Howe, Head.
We are committed to the safeguarding of children and young people and we expect all staff to share this commitment. All applicants will be subject to pre-employment screening, which includes an enhanced DBS, reference check and Online searches prior to appointment.
