What skills and experience we're looking for
We are looking for an enthusiastic and forward-thinking Teacher of Science, with all specialisms welcome, to join our successful and supportive department.
Working closely with an experienced and collaborative team, this is a genuinely collegiate post. You will be encouraged to contribute ideas, engage in professional dialogue and refine your practice as part of a shared commitment to high-quality science teaching. Science is a core subject within the school, with a clear focus on developing students’ scientific understanding, curiosity and analytical thinking.
You will teach across Key Stages 3 and 4, contributing to a carefully sequenced curriculum that builds secure knowledge over time and enables students to apply their understanding confidently through practical work, investigation and scientific reasoning. We welcome applications from all science specialisms.
The department places a strong emphasis on clear explanations, purposeful practical work and the development of students’ confidence in thinking scientifically and tackling increasingly complex ideas. You will be supported to deliver well-planned lessons while also contributing to the continued development of teaching and learning within the department. With access to a newly refurbished laboratory and a collaborative team culture, this is an exciting opportunity to help shape pedagogy and curriculum development in science.
The department works with shared curriculum materials and clear schemes of learning, supporting consistency while reducing unnecessary workload. Staff are encouraged to work collaboratively, refine practice together and contribute to a culture of high expectations and continual improvement.
This role would particularly suit a teacher who is ambitious about their professional development and excited by the opportunity to contribute to a forward-thinking department. Whether you are early in your career or bring significant experience, you will be supported to develop your practice and play a meaningful role in the continued success of science within the school.
