Description

Overview

Abbey College Cambridge is one of the top performing colleges for international students in the UK. We specialise in helping students from across the world achieve the personal, social and academic growth needed to thrive at the UK’s best universities.

We are currently looking for an enthusiastic Teacher of Physics to join our team from January or April 2023.

The Physics department at Abbey College Cambridge is made up of six teaching staff and one technician. Subjects are taught at Edexcel IGCSE and A-level (both traditional 2-year programmes and our 18-month courses, beginning in January rather than September – catering for overseas markets with alternative timelines). We also offer our unique university preparation course, the International Foundation Programme in Engineering (one of 4 pathways), as an alternative level 3 course for students with a specific university pathway and those that prefer a modular assessment route.

The Physics department is a friendly and collaborative team from a range of backgrounds. The diversity of our students and staff creates an open and engaging culture, built around mutual respect, humour and the sharing of best practice. The team meets regularly to discuss key elements of transferable teaching practice, student support and intervention. Differentiated resources and detailed schemes of work are available for all courses but individual teacher adaption is encouraged and welcomed.

Some particularly unique aspects of our Physics department include the Celestron telescope (controlled by a Sky-Walker EQ6 Pro) and our new QIDI Tech X-Plus 3D printer. We are a department with no shortage of equipment. All Physics classes are taught in our fully functional and state-of-the-art wet labs (built in 2016): there’s even a Van der Graaf generator in each of them! We’ve also recently made a sizeable investment into PASCO Capstone and SparkVue software as a serious upgrade to how we use our array of PASCO sensors. Each of these is now fitted with a PASCO Air Link device for wireless transfer and display of real-time experiment data onto either the 64-inch Legamaster interactive displays that exist in each of our labs or the teacher’s own college-provided Surface Pro.

Your duties and responsibilities will include the following:

• Delivering high quality lessons.
• Facilitating the college’s goal of high student academic achievement.
• Informing parents about student progress.
• Engaging in the college’s pastoral care for all students in the college.
• Engaging in appraisals and reviews, and taking part in training and development.
