The School of Foundation, Intermediate Learning and Employability at Kingston College is looking to appoint a Lecturer to teach GCSE Physics with additional responsibilities as a personal tutor. The ability to teach another subject will be an advantage.

A key focus is in helping the Head of Section to ensure that your students meet and exceed their target grades by providing a high-quality student experience and outstanding outcomes in Physics.

Able to support, motivate and empathise with learners, including monitoring their progress, you'll have an awareness of academic quality standards and have participated in recent and relevant continuous professional development.

With energy, enthusiasm and passion for the subject and education, you'll be able to use new technologies to enhance teaching and learning and be receptive to new ideas and initiatives with a creative approach to problem solving. You'll have good planning, preparation, organisational and administrative skills with good attention to detail, able to work well under pressure to agreed deadlines.

We welcome applications from newly qualified teachers.

The successful candidate will be eligible for any increase in salary as a consequence of the annual cost of living review that will be implemented in the new academic year.
