Due to our current Head of Chemistry moving on, The Glasgow Academy has an outstanding opportunity for an inspirational teacher and gifted practitioner to lead our Chemistry Department, developing further the standards and work of a very successful department, to raise standards of learning and achievement, building with sensitivity and flair on the achievements of an already strong team.

You must be passionate about motivating young people, about inspiring excellence, and providing great pastoral care. You will have an enthusiastic "Can do, will do" attitude and will instil high standards and high expectations in children, plus the belief that ability is not fixed and that abilities can be developed considerably through sensibly focused endeavour.

You will care deeply about children's success and will be skilled at motivating children to work to their full potential. Above all, you will work very hard and effectively for the young people in your care.

A willingness to participate in the School's Combined Cadet Force (CCF) and /or Duke of Edinburgh programme would also be welcomed.

Applications should be made using the official application form (available on The Glasgow Academy website Vacancies | The Glasgow Academy) and must be submitted by email to recruitment@tga.org.uk by 2pm on Thursday 9 May. Interviews (which will include teaching a lesson) will take place shortly afterwards.

The appointment is for August 2024 or as soon as possible thereafter and is a full-time permanent post. All teachers at The Academy must be registered with the General Teaching Council Scotland.

The Glasgow Academy is committed to providing equality of opportunity and ensuring that no job applicant receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of age, disability, gender and transgender status, race and ethnicity, religion and belief, marriage or civil partnership status or sexual orientation.

It is a legal requirement that all employees must demonstrate that they are entitled to live and work in the UK. You will be required to produce documentary proof e.g. passport and work permit, where applicable, to demonstrate your eligibility to work if selected for interview.

The Glasgow Academy is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and all appointments are subject to membership of the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme.
