We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic and committed Teacher of Chemistry to join our successful Chemistry Department from August 2021.
The Chemistry Department is staffed by five full-time specialist Chemistry teachers, including the Head of Department, and a full-time Chemistry technician.
Science subjects are taught separately at Heriots from S1. In S1 and S2, a block rotation operates, with each pupil having two 9-10 week blocks in the rotating subjects. Certificate Chemistry courses begin in S3 working towards National 5 presentation in S4, progressing to Higher and Advanced Higher level in S5 and S6. The Department presents high numbers of pupils for public examinations at all levels, and has an excellent record of success.
The Department is well-resourced with four dedicated laboratories on two levels. The labs have all been fully refurbished within the last 10 years, the last in 2013, and are all equipped with multi-media facilities and modern externally-vented fume cupboards. Resources are stored and managed across several storerooms and a technician workroom. There is a central Chemistry staff base.
In addition to curricular commitments, the successful candidate will be required to participate fully in the extra-curricular life of the School.
All applicants must be registered, or eligible for registration, with the GTC Scotland.
