WORKING AT FRENSHAM
One of the real differences about Frensham is our open, equal environment. There is no forced deference or demanded respect. We are all in this together. A strong basis of mutual respect and equality creates an innovative, lively place to work. We ask our teachers to be brave with their teaching and we ask our support staff to be more than just supportive. It's an environment that reflects many modern workplaces and allows our students to observe adults working inclusively together and to build their own confidence in working with adults and those in more senior positions.
Frensham Heights is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and requires its staff to share this commitment. All candidates will have a Safeguarding Suitability interview and child protection screening appropriate to the post, including an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, checks with past employers and a Prohibition from Teaching and Management Check. All posts are exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and the School is therefore permitted to ask job applicants to declare all convictions and cautions (including those which are "spent" unless they are "protected" under the DBS filtering rules) in order to assess their suitability to work with children.
TEACHING STAFF
As a progressive school, our teachers will find an exciting innovative opportunity to really engage with the students. Their role is not just to disperse knowledge, but to instill lasting learning and skills. Beyond a specific subject, our teachers engage students in cross-curricular projects and social, moral and ethical discussions and above all create genuine, lasting relationships built on mutual respect.
HEAD OF PHYSICS
Frensham Heights School is recruiting a Head of Physics to join our thriving science department. The successful candidate will be qualified to teach Science at KS3 and Physics at KS4 and 5. The Head of Department is responsible for the overall delivery and results of Physics across the school and, as such, will line manage the teacher(s) of Physics. The ability to teach mathematics would be an advantage.
We would be open to applications from those interested in part time as well as full time posts. We reserve the right to appoint before the closing date.

Please send application pack to head@frensham.org
Closing Date: 10 February at 9am, with interviews to be held later that week.

SUPPORT STAFF
As a cohesive community, it is just as important that our support staff are onboard with the communal vision and ethos of the school. There are many events throughout the year, not to mention lunchtime everyday, where students, teachers and support staff come together. It's more than just a day job, but something that you can become passionately involved with.
