JOB TITLE: Science Teacher

BASED AT: Castle Newnham

SALARY/GRADE: ECT/MPS

RESPONSIBLE TO: An identified member of SLT as appropriate

The formative years of BEST have been a real success story – and we are looking forward to an exciting future, too. The Bedfordshire Schools Trust (BEST) is a multi-academy trust providing exceptional education across our community of 11 schools and five nurseries. Since forming in 2016, we have grown significantly into one of the largest trusts in the county. We now educate 8,000 children across the area, from nursery age to advanced level study, and have over 1,000 members of staff. It is our aim to grow the BEST in everyone, and everything we do is driven by our values.

We are currently looking to recruit a science teacher to a full time, permanent post with immediate effect.

Our science department has an excellent reputation for high standards and innovative teaching and is led by a passionate and experienced subject specialist.

We seek a teacher who will enthuse pupils to learn with a combination of great subject knowledge, energy, dedication and warmth of approach. We are forward looking in that we embrace innovation and research-based practice with a strong emphasis on training and development and would welcome applications from colleagues with a similarly outward-looking approach. The role will involve working collaboratively and enthusiastically as part of the extremely supportive team. The post is suitable for ambitious colleagues at any stage of their career including ECT.

As well as a supportive team and strong professional development, Castle Newnham offers:

• well-behaved, happy, confident and enthusiastic pupils who are keen to learn;

• a school highly valued and supported by parents and the community;

• a nurturing, enthusiastic and committed staff, who can rise to a challenge;

• great opportunities to make your mark and to be part of something exciting and unique

Applicants must be willing to undertake a DBS clearance and the Academy must receive two satisfactory references before the successful candidate can commence employment.
