Teacher of Physics (Part time)
We are seeking a committed, well-qualified and passionate Teacher of Physics to join this very popular department in September 2026. The successful applicant will be expected to teach the subject up to A Level and to participate fully in the School’s extensive pastoral and wider-curricular programme.
This is an exciting opportunity for a physicist looking to join a highly successful and well-resourced department with supportive and committed colleagues. Excellent support is available for an ECT or someone looking to transition into teaching, but equally the post would suit an experienced teacher seeking a new role.
The role is anticipated to be between 0.4 and 0.6 FTE, assuming contribution to the wider curricular and/or pastoral pillars of school life.

To employ individuals from outside the UK under specific visa routes – such as the Skilled Worker or Temporary Worker visa – organisations must hold a Sponsor Licence issued by the UK Home Office. This licence confirms that the employer meets the necessary legal and compliance requirements to sponsor overseas workers. Please note that The Leys School does not hold a Sponsor Licence and is therefore unable to offer visa sponsorship for any vacancies.
