Teacher of Biology

We have an exciting opportunity for a qualified teacher of Biology to join our dynamic and successful Biology Department. You will be capable of teaching from Y7 through to A Level, inspiring our students with a love of the subject and possessing a willingness to take them well beyond the scope of the syllabus.

This is a short-term appointment and is offered at up to 0.6 FTE. The precise working pattern will be determined once the school timetable is finalised. We aim to be flexible and will take the availability of strong candidates into account during this process. The fixed term will be for the first half of the Autumn Term 2026 but may extend into the start of the following half term.

Being ‘willing to go the extra mile’ is a major part of the role for all teachers at the RGS, not merely in specialist activities but in a huge range of co-curricular sporting, artistic and cultural work. We are keen to invite applications from those who would like to make their own distinctive contribution to this ethos. We very much value colleagues who are willing to contribute to the co-curricular programme.

The RGS has its own salary scale (which is above national pay scales for teachers) and provides ECTs with an appropriate programme of induction leading to QTS.

Excellent benefits are available – please see the Job Information Pack for more details.

Closing date: 9.00am on Monday, 20th April 2026.
