Join Our Dynamic Science Department!
Are you passionate about Science and eager to inspire the next generation? Victoria College is seeking a dedicated and enthusiastic Head of Science to lead our experienced Science Faculty. We have recently remodelled our Science Curriculum at KS3 and GCSE, and as Head of Faculty, you would have the opportunity to bed this in and lead the heads of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. The sciences are always amongst the most popular subjects throughout the school, and especially so at A level, with many boys going on to study science based degrees at top universities, including Oxbridge. You'll have the opportunity to engage with motivated students and contribute to a thriving academic environment.
This position will attract a supplementary allowance of SA5.
Why Victoria College?
* Well-Resourced Department: The Science Block benefits from 9 large laboratories, a well stocked and equipped Prep Room, with two full time technicians. There is a large library of online and electronic resources, alongside traditional materials, to support your teaching.
* Proven Success: Be part of a department with a history of extremely strong results at GCSE and A-Level, consistently out performing top HMC and maintained schools in the UK
* Supportive Culture: Join a team that goes above and beyond, offering exceptional support whilst fostering strong partnerships with parents
* Professional Development: Access a supportive program of professional development, coaching, and mentoring with a generous CPD budget
* Job Security: Teach at an HMC school in beautiful Jersey - still close to the UK but insulated from the pension cuts and redundancy threats affecting many UK teachers due to VAT increases.
What We're Looking For:
* Enthusiasm: A passion for Science and a desire to inspire students.
* Organisation: High level of personal organisation to manage resources and plan effectively.
* Innovation: Keen to challenge traditional thinking and take our department to the next level.
If you're ready to make a significant impact and help our students achieve their full potential, we want to hear from you!
Apply Today and become a part of Victoria College's success story. Let's shape the future of Science education together!

About Jersey
The Bailiwick of Jersey is a self-governing Crown Dependency, and this has implications for its education system. Schools here operate under Jersey Education Law, which differs from that of the UK.
Our schools follow the Jersey Curriculum, which is based on the English National Curriculum, but with adaptations that enable us to include the study of Jersey’s unique history, geography, and political system.
London is only 30 minutes away by air and France is a mere 14 miles to the east. Jersey is a unique place to live and work, particularly if you and your family enjoy an outdoor and community-focused lifestyle.
