Teacher of Biology

As Teacher of Biology at the RGS you would be joining a team of eight biologists in a well-resourced department. Our boys “display excellent attitudes to their learning” and there is a “high degree of mutual respect between pupils and teachers” (ISI Inspection Report 2022).

You would be teaching boys from the First Form (Year 7) through to A-level where Biology is a popular option with 60-70 boys taking the subject in the Sixth Form.

We are looking for a biology enthusiast to join us in September 2024 and inspire our boys who “display excellent attitudes to their learning” and demonstrate a “high degree of mutual respect between pupils and teachers” (ISI Inspection Report 2022). We particularly welcome applications from candidates with multi-disciplinary experience and the confidence to teach more than one subject.

Other benefits include:

• Private medical scheme
• Comprehensive Employee Assistance Programme
