Job description

Emanuel School has an exciting opportunity for a motivated and committed Teacher of Chemistry to join our thriving Chemistry Department from September 2024.

You will deliver enthusiastic and engaging Chemistry teaching that seeks to challenge, engage and inspire our pupils to achieve their full potential in the subject of Chemistry. As well as delivering excellent classroom teaching, all staff at Emanuel undertake a pastoral role (as a form tutor, or as a co-tutor if an ECT) and get involved in the wider life of the school through co-curricular activities and outreach programmes.

We are looking for someone with good subject knowledge, who is seeking to develop their skills in our school. You will possess a Chemistry, Engineering or Physical Sciences degree, along with previous experience of teaching Chemistry at GCSE and A Level. We welcome applications from ECTs and would also be prepared to provide teacher training for the right graduate candidate who would like to make the move into teaching, subject to a satisfactory probationary period with us.

Science at Emanuel

The Science department at Emanuel is thriving, with excellent levels of motivation amongst pupils and staff, consistently high uptake at A Level, and significant numbers of pupils going on to pursue science-related degrees. The department offers a wealth of opportunities for pupils to broaden their horizons, including school trips and competitions. Science societies and clubs run weekly, including Junior Science Club.

Working at Emanuel

There is a genuine buzz at the school. Colleagues enjoy their work and, like the pupils, are ambitious for the school. 

Everyone works hard here, and anyone joining the school should expect to do so. There’s a strong sense of community and source of friendship. From the briefing to all staff, to the half termly staff meetings, termly consultative group meetings and a common room committee, there’s ongoing dialogue about the school’s aims. 

We aim to look after our staff too. We have an appraisal scheme with a focus on the employee’s professional development; we sponsor postgraduate courses and a range of training opportunities; we offer a healthcare plan via Simply Health that includes counselling and medical support; and we’re committed to supporting staff wellbeing. On a more practical level, all staff benefit from good pension provision and free lunches.

The closing date for applications is 18th March 2024.

Do note that interviews may be held at any stage after applications are received, so candidates are advised to apply as soon as possible. We may close the vacancy earlier than the specified deadline if the right candidate is found.

Emanuel School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
