This list is not intended to be exhaustive. The nature of teaching and of education is that change is likely, either externally prompted (for instance a government or exam board reform) or as a result of SCBS-based initiatives. The successful candidate should therefore expect to undertake any other reasonable duties for the further development of the subject within the school and of the school’s academic ethos in general.

• effective and efficient administrative skills;
• the ability and willingness to contribute to the teaching of another science subject will be an advantage;
• the ability to contribute to the extra-curricular life of the College is essential;

Hours of Work
Teachers are expected to work the hours necessary to fulfil their role to the highest possible professional standards, and be available for all scheduled lessons, duties, meetings and other associated activities. Academic staff are also expected to actively support school events as far as possible, and contribute to the broader life of the school.

Remuneration and Benefits
Details of remuneration and benefits are given in formal offer letters and contracts of employment.
Successful candidates are offered a point on the salary scale which is appropriate to their qualifications and experience.
Relocation allowance, accommodation allowances, annual performance bonus, annual completion bonus, health insurance and annual flights to and from the home country are included in the benefits package.
The school normally offers a three-year contract.

Induction of New Staff
There is a thorough induction programme for new staff. The main staff induction will take place just prior to the start of the new academic year in mid-August 2020.




THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
Staff
The Science Department is a growing and well qualified team of seven teachers. Over the coming years it is planned for the school to grow rapidly and this is an exciting opportunity for a forward looking and energetic teacher. In 2020 we expect that there will be ten or more science teachers.
Members of the Department will be expected to work as a team when preparing materials and to share in the setting of tests for the regular monitoring programme, which will then be used as common assessments. Each individual teacher will be assisted to maximise the quality of their teaching. Regular departmental meetings, INSET, lesson observations and professional reviews will all be developed to form part of this process.
Facilities
There is a strong tradition of Science teaching at Concord College in the UK and it is anticipated that this will also be the case in Shanghai. Science teaching will take place within dedicated science laboratories. All classrooms and laboratories are equipped with a data projector and whiteboard. Two experienced laboratory technicians will service the needs of the whole department. However, in 2024 it is intended that the college will relocate to a purpose built site in the same district of Shanghai. The science teachers will be directly involved and consulted in the development of the new school’s laboratories and the facilities required.
Courses
In 2020/21, the school will have full cohorts in years 6 through 9 and smaller cohorts in high school (10 through 12). The new student intake for the 2020/21 academic year will be into both year 6 and 10.
The youngest students follow the compulsory Chinese curriculum, alongside intensive English and bilingual extension courses. It is intended that this will lead to IGCSE courses in Year 9 and 10. The Year 11 students will begin a two year A level course. In Concord College UK, many students apply to study at top universities in the UK and USA, with several going to Oxbridge each year. It is our aim that the students at SCBS will aspire to and reach the same exceptional standard.
Science courses at present follow KS3, IGCSE and AS/A Level curricula.
The science team holds STEM clubs for students in years 6 through 8 and it is hoped that these offerings will continue to expand as the science team grows.

Post of Responsibilities
There are further opportunities within the school for 2020/2021 for candidates to take on the following posts:
1, SENDCO.
2, Exams Officer
3, E-learning Coordinator
4, University & Careers Counsellor
For each post of responsibility, the school will offer full training, but hopes the applicant will have some relevant experience. A reduced timetable plus post-of-responsibility allowance will be offered.
