WHY CHOOSE US?
Do you want to be part of a community which offers a positive, exciting and rewarding place to work? Hillview School for Girls is a popular, high achieving, non-selective school based in Tonbridge, Kent. Working for us will give you the opportunity to work alongside enthusiastic subject specialists and engage with creative pedagogical development.
Our calm and focused classroom environments, where students are keen to learn, achieve and appreciate their teachers’ dedication and support, are the main reasons why teachers love to work at Hillview.
We are seeking to appoint an ambitious and experienced Second in Charge of Science who has a bold and creative vision, to provide innovative, high-quality leadership. You will work closely with our Director of Science and existing Second in Charge of Science to secure a consistent, high quality Science education experience for our learners.
The successful candidate will be able to teach Science to KS3 and KS4 with ideally some KS5 teaching in any of: Biology, Chemistry and Applied Science. We also aspire to offer Physics in the coming years and experience of this would be desirable but not essential.
In partnership with the Director of Science and other leaders, you will:
• Develop a dynamic and inspiring Science provision
• Lead and support a team of teachers and students to high levels of success
• Consider the school’s ‘Pure potential’ belief and how this can be interpreted within Science, through high expectations and aspirations for the students
• Develop pedagogical approaches to Science across the team
In return, we offer an exciting and rewarding place to work. We are a supportive, collaborative school and have a strong record of developing our teachers towards middle and senior leadership. This role would be suited to an experienced leader looking for a change in school/position or a highly aspirational teacher with a passion for STEM.
