An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Teacher of Biology to join a highly successful department at this major London day school.
The current vacancy is a permanent full-time or part-time post (minimum 0.8). It offers an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic teacher to develop, or perhaps to begin, their career in a lively and innovative setting as part of a dynamic, supportive and collaborative department. The successful applicant will be a strong Biology graduate, with a deep passion for their subject, and the ability to convey this effectively to pupils across all age groups, including Biology at GCSE and A level, and science at KS3. They should also have the ability to stretch potential Oxbridge candidates and inspire pupils beyond the curriculum both in lessons and in clubs and societies.
We therefore expect to appoint a teacher who combines a strong intellectual interest in Biology with an imaginative and adaptable approach to pedagogy; informed and thoughtful in their planning of lessons, rigorous and friendly in their delivery. They will be personally committed to developing a genuine and lasting enthusiasm for Biology in their pupils, as well as in preparing them for exam success.
A willingness to contribute to the co-curricular life of the school will be an additional and important recommendation. We expect all of our teachers to be Form Tutors.

University College School is fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children.
