“The Radcliffe School is a Good School” – Ofsted, 2020

We are looking for a dedicated and engaging Science specialist to join our Science department from January 2025 or sooner. The successful candidate will be responsible for delivering high quality teaching and learning in Science by modelling good practice and leading training in Science.

The successful candidate will also have access to a full range of courses both in-house and professionally accredited, including all of the National Professional Qualifications eg NPQLTD.

Coaching and mentoring of staff within the department is a key priority. As such, the successful candidate will be able to work with teachers to promote high-quality teaching and learning, and to ensure that teachers are supported in their implementation of the school’s behaviour policy. Promoting and monitoring student progress, through these and other means, is essential for the role.

The successful candidate will be supportive and keen to assist in leading a team of colleagues who value and welcome new ideas; regularly evaluate team successes and challenge each other to continue improving. They will crucially provide a friendly and supportive presence for a diverse cohort of students who are keen to learn and to be shown the magic of Science.

This position would suit an experienced teacher. Experience in departmental leadership is preferable, though not necessarily required. We have an extensive record of providing excellent mentoring and support to new staff.

We can offer onsite accommodation for new staff in one of our two houses. Each house is semi-detached with three bedrooms and a large garden. Please enquire for more information.

This is a unique opportunity to take on an exciting role in a forward-thinking school and to work with committed and collaborative staff.
