Ditcham Park School

Ditcham Park School is a unique, successful and thriving school situated in 16 acres of the beautiful South Downs National Park. We have 400+ pupils, aged 4 to 16 years who benefit from a caring and supportive ethos and relatively small classes. GCSE results are consistently impressive and the school was ranked 14^th best independent school, in category, in the country based on its GCSE results. Pupils of Ditcham Park School are proud of their vibrant learning community which is committed to providing everyone with the opportunity to discover their talents, realise their potential and become well rounded, socially responsible citizens in a school ‘where every child is known and valued’.

The Science and Design & Technology departments at Ditcham Park School play a central role in developing pupils’ curiosity, creativity and problem-solving skills through engaging theoretical and practical learning experiences. We aim to inspire pupils to think critically, investigate independently and develop confidence in applying scientific and technical knowledge to real-world situations. Both departments contribute significantly to the school’s STEAM curriculum and work collaboratively to promote problem-solving skills and awareness of future career pathways available to pupils.

We are seeking an enthusiastic and adaptable teacher to join our team in a flexible STEAM-based teaching role. The successful candidate would be able to teach both KS3 and KS4 D&T with the ability to teach science at KS3. The ability to teach KS4 science would be an advantage.  This is a part time role, 0.8 of an FTE.

The role would suit an energetic and versatile teacher with a passion for STEAM education, practical learning and wider school involvement. The successful applicant will contribute positively to the wider life of the school and support the continued growth of Science, Design & Technology and STEAM opportunities across the school.
