Teacher of Science - Chemistry specialism (Full or Part Time) required for September 2026

We are looking for an enthusiastic and effective teacher of Science, able to teach in Key Stage 3, 4 and 5, with teaching of KS4 Chemistry essential for the role. Applicants with additional experience of teaching KS4 Biology and/or KS5 Chemistry are preferred.

Our school has an excellent reputation at local and national level. The last inspection by Ofsted in 2024 judged us to be outstanding in all areas. This was our fifth outstanding report and, whilst we are very proud of this achievement, we are in no way complacent. In addition to excellence in terms of academic outcomes, our purpose is to provide a supportive, stimulating and secure environment in which young people can thrive. As such, we seek to employ inspirational and energetic staff, committed to the school’s ethos. In return, we aim to provide opportunities for continuing professional growth and development for all staff, beginning with a well- established induction.

If you have a very good knowledge and understanding of the subject and you are an excellent teacher looking to develop your career in a supportive and progressive environment, we would welcome an application from you. Opportunities for personal development are excellent. An interest and willingness to teach a second subject would also be an advantage. Potential candidates may also wish to know that our admissions policy enables the school to priorities the admission of children of staff recruited to posts in which there is a demonstratable skill shortage.

This school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff to share this commitment. All staff employed in the school must be aware that an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service check will be undertaken.

If you are interested in learning more about the position, please contact the Headteacher via the school office, on 01344 421233 or by email, [e-mail] . Details of the post are also available on the school website, www.ranelagh.bonitas.org.uk . Please note that CV’s will not be accepted. No agencies.

Closing date: Monday 23 rd February at 12pm

The school reserves the right to close this advert early in the event that sufficient applications have been received.
