• Deliver targeted, high-impact small group and 1:1 sessions

• Identify misconceptions and rapidly accelerate progress

• Build students’ confidence in Biology, Chemistry and Physics

• Strengthen exam technique and scientific literacy

• Turn “I can’t do this” into “I’ve got this”

Your work will directly influence student achievement at Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, helping learners secure the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.

What makes this opportunity special?

• Focused Impact - Work with small groups where you can truly personalise learning
• Collaborative Culture - Join a supportive, forward-thinking Science department
• Professional Growth - Access high-quality CPD and career development
• Well-Resourced Environment - Modern labs and structured intervention programmes

• Hold QTS (or equivalent)

• Have strong subject knowledge across KS3 and KS4 Science

• Understand how to diagnose learning gaps and respond strategically

• Be skilled at motivating and building rapport with young people

• Have high expectations and a relentless commitment to raising standards

Experience working with students who require additional academic support is highly desirable — but above all, we are looking for someone who believes in possibility.
