Head of Science job summary
We are looking for a Head of Science to join our small friendly staff. Do you have a passion for your subject? Do you enjoy teaching small groups of children? Do you enjoy trying to get the very best out of individuals who may not have had a good experience of learning so far? We have a small well equipped lab and teach the AQA GCSE course at Key Stage 4. At Key stage 3 we have purchased an online learning system which allows for easy ongoing assessment. Most of the students really enjoy doing practical work but often need help to reach their full potential in examination conditions.
You will need to be flexible and have a good sense of humour. Experience of key stage 3 teaching or a Physics specialist would be an advantage but we are more interested in finding the "right person."
Applicants should have experience of teaching students who have emotional and behavioural difficulties.
