Teacher of Biology - Edinburgh, United Kingdom - Dunedin School

Description

Are you looking for a new challenge? Would you relish the opportunity to be part of a small team, in a unique environment, dedicated to helping young people re-engage in education and achieve beyond their expectations? Can you offer patience, empathy and enthusiasm?

Then this might be the role for you.

Dunedin is a small, independent secondary school, providing an exceptional learning environment which offers young people a 'second chance' at education.

Our pupils have usually had a difficult journey before they come to us, and most have not been able to thrive in a mainstream setting.

With a sensitive, nurturing and supportive approach, we aim to remove barriers in order to help our young people regain a love of learning, reignite aspiration in them, and rediscover a belief in themselves.

As our Biology teacher, you will join our hard-working and committed team to help our young people develop essential skills and gain qualifications where appropriate .

Whether you are at the start of your career, or you are already highly experienced; whether you are looking for part-time hours, or looking to augment hours, Dunedin can offer the right candidate a learning and teaching environment where you will have autonomy in your department, alongside opportunities to develop leadership skills as part of the collaborative management of the school as a whole.

All teachers must be registered with The General Teaching Council for Scotland.
