William Hulme’s Grammar School (WHGS) is seeking to appoint a passionate and ambitious Teacher of Science to join our successful secondary team from December 2026 or January 2027. This is a full-time, fixed term contract and represents an exciting opportunity to teach Science and Biology in a school where the subject is highly valued, academically rigorous and genuinely popular with students.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to teach across the secondary phase, including GCSE and A Level Biology, as well as BTEC Applied Science and BTEC Health and Social Care, for the right applicant. We are looking for a teacher who can inspire students through thoughtful, challenging and engaging lessons in science, and who is excited by helping young people explore and challenge their understanding. Students at WHGS are curious, ambitious and eager to debate ideas, making the classroom a stimulating and rewarding place to teach.
This position would suit an enthusiastic teacher at the start of their career as well as a more experienced practitioner. For those new to the profession, WHGS offers a supportive and aspirational environment in which to develop strong subject knowledge, refine pedagogy and grow in confidence as a classroom practitioner. We are proud of a school culture that values professional learning and collaboration, and that encourages staff to aim high, both for themselves and for their students.
If you are excited by the prospect of inspiring students and developing your teaching in a school that values scholarship, curiosity and ambition, we would be delighted to receive your application.
