Description

Uppingham School is seeking to appoint a first-rate teacher of Biology, from September 2023.

The person appointed will be a strong, dynamic character with excellent subject knowledge, a good degree, good classroom management skills, a track record of excellent teaching and an appropriate rapport with pupils. The abilities to communicate well and work as part of a team are essential. The successful candidate will have high personal and professional standards, with well-developed pastoral instincts.

This position could equally suit an ECT, or an experienced teacher. Teachers at Uppingham play a full part in the life of this seven-day week boarding school, by taking on responsibilities in addition to classroom teaching. For the right candidate, the additional role of supervising pupils applying for medicine at university may be available.

In return Uppingham offers a community that values people. We are warm, compassionate and mutually supportive. This is reflected in our working environment and the benefits we are able to offer:

50% contribution to premiums for School’s private health scheme
Free membership of dual-use Sports Centre (£25 annual joining fee)
Free staff lunches in term-time
School fee discount for children of staff (subject to change at any time)
Retail, gym, supermarket, cinema and restaurant discounts
Cycle to work scheme
Employee Assistance Programme which provides a range of support including counselling and legal advice
Occupational Health Services to support staff who have health/medical issues
Free annual ‘flu jabs’
Recognised as a “Disability Confident” employer
Recognised as a “Mindful” employer

The closing date for applications is Monday 27 February 2023, 9.00am.

Interviews will take place on Friday 3 March 2023.
