Teacher of Science

Maternity cover; three days per week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday). The contract will end the day before the substantive postholder returns to work.

Required from 28th April 2025

We wish to appoint a teacher of science who has a real passion and enthusiasm for sharing their subject expertise with our students.

We offer an environment where our teachers are respected and trusted as professionals.  We allow teachers autonomy in the decisions they make for the students in their classrooms, supported by a culture of teacher development and training. Collective Endeavour is how we ensure the greatest experience for our students. Teachers in our school immediately become part of strong departmental teams with regular collaborative planning where subject experts have the opportunity to develop pedagogy and curriculum together. We strongly believe that autonomy and collaboration allow our staff to achieve true professional joy.

The successful candidate will possess subject expertise alongside energy and enthusiasm.  They will believe that every young person deserves the very best education.  A commitment to raising achievement, and a willingness to learn, train and develop further as a teacher are all essential.

We are a truly inclusive school and for us social justice and providing all of our students with the knowledge and skills to allow them to have a voice and achieve their goals is really important; the most for those that need the most. This is echoed throughout our school with a real commitment to the wellbeing and success of our staff and students. If you think this aligns with your values, then we would love to hear from you.
