We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified, enthusiastic and ambitious Teacher of Physics who will share our vision for the Physics department and curriculum, to promote outstanding learning and teaching. The role is a maternity cover position to start in January 2027.

Physics is a core subject up to IGCSE and around 160 Sixth Form pupils study OCR Physics A level. All staff in the Department are subject specialists and there is great scope to make your mark on the development of the department. The successful applicant will be committed to delivering genuinely imaginative, varied and challenging courses at all levels in the school including stretching the most able up to Oxbridge level.

Hampton is one of the country's foremost independent schools where equity, diversity and inclusion are fundamental to our ethos and the School has a thriving partnerships programme.

The successful candidate will be expected to teach up to 30 (40 minute) lessons per week, which would usually include a games afternoon and a form tutor period. The role involves planning appropriate lessons and dealing with marking and reporting.

A contribution to the wider life of the School is also expected from staff at Hampton and the successful candidate will be welcome to take part in the wide range of co-curricular School activities - Sport, Music, Drama, the Adventure Society and many more.

Hampton is a highly regarded name on any teaching CV and our School often acts as a professional springboard. Many colleagues have successfully moved on to middle or senior leadership roles; several former members of the Common Room have been appointed as HMC/GSA Heads over recent years.

We welcome applications from all backgrounds. Alongside those joining us from university PGCE courses or as experienced teachers, we recruit talented people from a variety of sectors, including post-doctoral research, universities, industry, and commerce. Successful candidates who are new entrants to the teaching profession are supported towards qualified teacher status (QTS) via an in-post PGCE course offered in conjunction with the University of Buckingham.

The School has its own salary scale and offers generous non-contractual benefits, well above the maintained sector, to attract high-calibre candidates. There is a very strong commitment at Hampton to supporting the continuing professional development of colleagues.
