Teacher of Environmental Science
Peter Symonds is a vibrant sixth form college in Winchester which has been rated by Ofsted as ‘outstanding’ in every respect. We have a large team of committed and talented staff who are at the heart of the success of the College.
The College is one of the largest centers for A level Environmental Science in the country. In a typical year, about half of the students in the department progress to study Environmental Science or similar degrees. This is therefore a rare opportunity for someone to join the team on a substantial part time basis of approximately 0.73 FTE. We are looking for someone with a degree in this or a closely allied subject and welcome applications from both experienced and newly qualified teachers.
Most important are the personal qualities of passion and enthusiasm for the subject and an ability to transfer that to students. You will be willing to plan and help run fieldwork activities and to share ideas to help in the further development of the subject.
Our staff are at the heart of what we do at the College, we are proudly anti-racist and our motto is ‘Counting in ones’ which applies to staff as well as the students. We offer special leave for various special occasions, support from the Hub, staff-run groups, staff choir, Monday night football, regular staff forums, an inclusive, supportive and kind culture, no expectations to answer emails out of hours (with an automated message to alert the sender), lunch provided at all lunchtime meetings, ‘5 days of Christmas’ treats, end of term meals and activities and bike and computer loans to name but a few of our initiatives
