Job title: Teacher of Science (any specialism) Salary: MPS/UPS + London Fringe. Hours: Full time / part time Responsible to: Head of Faculty for Science Contract: Permanent / fixed-term Required for September 2026 a well-qualified teacher of Science to teach across the age and ability range in a Science Faculty that achieves excellent results. We are looking for an enthusiastic and imaginative individual to join a friendly, supportive and committed team who will help our students to ‘achieve their potential and enjoy the journey’. We welcome applications from ECTs as well as experienced teachers. Candidates should be able to offer science teaching in one or more of Biology, Chemistry or Physics. STEM subjects are highly valued and we are determined to challenge traditional stereotypes and to help our pupils break through any glass ceilings they may encounter. The Faculty is exceptionally well resourced, with new laboratories and modern equipment. The enrichment offered to pupils is extensive including an annual Science Fair, Forensic Science Day, engineering visits, Biology and Physics Weeks and many other trips and visits and guest speakers, including outreach work with local primary schools. The collaborative work environment in Science encourages continuous professional development and career progression for staff. Visitors tell us that our school is a welcoming, lively and stimulating community where we emphasise the importance of the individual’s contribution and take pleasure in sharing and celebrating achievement. They commend the good behaviour of the pupils and their thirst for knowledge. We make sure that this is a school where secure foundations enable teachers and pupils to have the confidence to take risks and are not afraid to make mistakes. Bishop’s is a diverse community that offers mutual support and encouragement and expects everyone within it to respect others’ heritage, cultures, religion, identity and beliefs. We hope that the values, self-discipline and sense of personal worth that pupils gain here will be a support throughout their lives as British and Global Citizens. We welcome applications from candidates from racially minoritised backgrounds and from other groups that are underrepresented in the UK education system. This is an exciting opportunity to join the school at a time of growth and development. Bishop’s Hatfield Girls’ School is heavily over-subscribed and has around 950 pupils on roll including the Sixth Form. We are fully committed to our values of teamwork, respect, honesty, trust, kindness and ambition. The school completed its most recent Ofsted inspection in December 2022 and was judged to continue to be Outstanding. However, we are not driven by Ofsted and our priorities lie in supporting our pupils to develop their knowledge, skills and character through the ‘Bishop’s 360’ model. The school has benefited from a total rebuild on the same site and enjoys excellent state of the art facilities. BHG
