Teacher of Science/Chemistry job summary
The Wensum Trust is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic KS3-KS5 Teacher of Chemistry who will engage, challenge and support our students. The ability to teach A level would be an advantage. Our GCSE Chemistry and A level Chemistry results are excellent and above average for the East of England and we would welcome an addition to our vibrant team that supports our vision to deliver high quality inclusive teaching and learning within our large and vibrant Science department
The Science department is housed in a single area of the school with 11 dedicated laboratories, a number of which have been upgraded in recent years and enjoys excellent resourcing levels. The Science department has a long history of excellent academic outcomes, especially at KS4, and a very strong uptake of the Sciences at A-Level.
At Hellesdon High School we are committed to an evidence-informed approach and a strong subject specific basis to our CPD programme. As a school and trust we offer excellent support for early career teachers, a number of career development opportunities and have great success in supporting staff seeking promoted posts.
Whilst this post would be ideal for an experienced teacher it would also suit an Early Career Teacher seeking opportunities to broaden their experience within a large school with a successful Sixth Form. This is a fixed term position for 1 year.
As part of The Wensum Trust, we believe that our shared duty is to help every child to develop into high achieving, confident, healthy, caring and resilient members of their family and community.

Our school, therefore, practices a relational approach with children, our families and our communities. We are particularly interested in working with people who share Our Qualities; who will work effectively and flexibly as part of a team.
We care about bringing together the most able people, to help us achieve our vision of providing a rounded education for children, quality support for their families and opportunities to enrich our communities.
