What is the job role?Due to the relocation of the current postholder, the Governors of this high achieving Catholic 11-18 school wish to appoint an outstanding colleague to work as Assistant Leader of Science within our supportive school community.
We have a fantastic commitment to professional development and believe that the right person can make a real difference. We spend dedicated time on professional development through pedagogy led sessions, breakouts, coaching and other professional activities.

Our department currently consists of nine teachers, all of whom are science specialists, and two science technicians. We are a forward-thinking and innovative department. The team dynamic is very strong with a great team spirit. We have a wide ranging enrichment programme and the department is highly respected, both within our school and within the wider teaching community. We are very well supported by our school leadership team and support staff, including teaching assistants and administrative staff, all of whom contribute to the successful running of our department.
The department is very well resourced. Each member of the department has their own teaching room with an interactive whiteboard. A wide range of other resources and equipment is available to support practical and investigative teaching approaches, including a discrete science ICT media suite.
Students achieve high levels of success at all Key Stages and the contextual-value added is positive. The subject is increasingly popular with Sixth form students and the department is always open to new curriculum opportunities and enrichment activities.

- be committed to the achievement and well-being of all students
- be an excellent classroom practitioner
- have the ability to inspire and motivate
