We are seeking an enthusiastic teacher to join our successful Science department to teach Chemistry and Physics to KS4 and General Science to KS3.

We have a suite of dedicated Science laboratories, including a newly-refurbished lab and Sixth Form facilities. You will be keen to promote the Science department and improve upon the opportunities available to our students. In addition, you will be Head of Learning to our new Year 7 students (from September 2021). You will work closely with the Inclusion team and line manage an Assistant Head of Learning, as well as a tutor team to ensure all students get the best possible pastoral care throughout their time at Highcrest, sharing responsibility for the learning and personal development of all students. You will move through the years with your year group to ensure they maximise their potential. The role includes leading and monitoring a tutor time programme, organising and monitoring Life Lesson, as well as taking a strategic lead to ensure the students display the highest level of attendance, punctuality and behaviour throughout school.
