Job summary
We are seeking an enthusiastic teacher to join our successful Science department to teach Science to KS4. The ability to teach KS5 Chemistry or Physics would be an advantage but is not essential.
You will join a leading department in a heavily over-subscribed academy. The Science department is staffed with a mixture of experienced teachers, NQTs and three technicians, all with a commitment to continuous school improvement. We have a suite of dedicated Science laboratories, including a newly refurbished lab and Sixth Form facilities.
To be successful, you will be keen to promote the Science department and improve upon the opportunities available to our students.
Closing date: 8.00am on Monday 21 June 2021; however, please note we will be reviewing applications on an ongoing basis and this advert may close earlier than advertised, depending on the level of response. Therefore, early applications are encouraged.
The Highcrest Academy is fully committed to safeguarding children (policies on web). All members of staff are in a “regulated” role under the Vetting & Barring Scheme and have to be DBS cleared prior to employment.
Additional allowances
Highcrest offers both an excellent induction and support programme for NQTs and an innovative and extensive CPD package for more experienced teachers. This provision of training has been praised as outstanding by an external assessor and highlighted in the local press. For NQTs, we provide weekly CPD meetings with experienced members of staff, time-tabled and protected Mentor Meetings on a weekly basis, subject knowledge time with departments and an extensive personalised CPD plan. There is also the possibility of shared living accommodation.
