Teacher of Biology

St Paul's Girls' School is an extraordinary institution. While we consistently achieve some of the best GCSE and A-level results in the country, we believe education is about far more than exams. With fewer rules and no uniform, we actively nurture creativity, curiosity and a love of discovery. Our rich co-curricular programme builds confidence, encourages independence and strengthens our connection with the wider community. It's a distinctive environment - ambitious, thoughtful and forward looking - but most importantly, it is a place where people matter.

This sense of freedom extends to the people who work for us, so you can expect considerable scope to demonstrate your potential and enhance your skills.

We are seeking a full-time Teacher of Biology from Spring 2027 to cover a period of maternity leave.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a thriving and highly successful Biology Department. To be successful, you will have excellent academic qualifications, outstanding subject knowledge and a passion for teaching Biology to able and intellectually curious students up to A Level.

You will be an enthusiastic and scholarly teacher with a proven track record of teaching Biology at A Level, a commitment to fostering a love of learning, and the ability to inspire students to achieve their full potential. You will contribute fully to the academic, pastoral and co-curricular life of the School and work collaboratively within a supportive and ambitious department.

For the right candidate, there may also be an opportunity to undertake the role of Head of Biology during the maternity cover period.

In return, you can expect a comprehensive package of rewards, including a pension scheme, private medical insurance after five years' service, life assurance, season ticket loan, free access to our extensive leisure facilities, free lunches, free eye tests, an advice and counselling service and a generous reduction on fees for your family.
