What skills and experience we're looking for
Outwood Academy Danum would like to welcome you to our friendly, energetic, and positive science department that challenges all students to put their best foot forward.
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a teacher of science with physics to join our dynamic team.

Our team contains a variety of science specialists from all disciplines, and staff are always on hand to help out with theory or practical queries in their specialist area. We have a thriving sixth form offering A levels, BTEC and T levels in engineering, in which our science department is involved with delivering.
We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic Teacher of science with Physics. You will have good subject knowledge, a passion for science, and want students to love science as much as we do. As a member of the Outwood Family you will share our vision of “Students First”.
