Teach Chemistry in Madrid

Por favor, verifique que tiene el nivel de experiencia y las cualificaciones adecuadas leyendo la descripción completa de esta ocasión a continuación.

You'll teach Chemistry at IGCSE and A-Level in a school where science matters. Small class sizes, well-equipped labs, and a team that takes the subject seriously. Your students go on to study Medicine, Engineering and Biomedical Sciences at top universities across Europe and the UK.

Holy Mary is an independent British Catholic school in Madrid, founded in 2009. We're not part of a chain — decisions are made here, not in a corporate office. That means less bureaucracy and more room to teach the way you believe works best.

Why Madrid

Madrid is one of Europe's most liveable cities. 300 days of sunshine, world-class food, excellent public transport, and a cost of living significantly lower than London or Dublin. A vibrant international community, direct flights to most European capitals, and a quality of life that's hard to match.

Many teachers who come for a year end up staying for ten.

What we offer

- Salary: 34,000 — 42,000 EUR gross/year, paid in 12 instalments (based on qualifications and experience)
- Contract: Permanent from day one ('contrato indefinido' under Spanish labour law)
- Professional development: Annual CPD programme, funded training, and opportunities to lead departmental initiatives
- An extensive relocation and benefits package for international candidates, discussed at interview
- Visas & bureaucracy: Full support with work permits and NIE — we guide the process and reimburse the expenses

Why Holy Mary?

We're not a corporation. We're not part of a chain of schools across multiple continents. We're a family school, founded by educators,



run with the values of a family. What does that mean in practice?

- You're a person, not a number. Our headteacher knows every teacher. Decisions happen through conversations, not HR portals.
- Students want to learn. Class sizes are small, parents are supportive, and behaviour (most days!) is excellent.
- Community matters. We celebrate together, support each other, and protect the culture that makes this place special.
- Our Catholic identity is central to who we are. It shapes our community, our values, and the way we treat each other. We welcome staff of all cultures and backgrounds who are drawn to these values.

What we're looking for

- QTS, PGCE, B.Ed, or equivalent teaching qualification
- Degree in Chemistry or closely related subject
- Experience teaching Chemistry at IGCSE and/or A-Level
- Genuine enthusiasm for the subject and for helping students succeed
- A commitment to safeguarding and the welfare of children
- British, EU, and international candidates welcome — we support visa applications

Nice to have: experience in a British international school, familiarity with Cambridge or Edexcel exam boards. But if you're a great Chemistry teacher, we want to hear from you regardless.

How to apply

IMPORTANT: We do not review applications through LinkedIn. Please send your CV and a cover letter to explaining why Holy Mary interests you and what you'd bring to our science department.
