Teacher of Science job summary
About the role: We have a unique opportunity to join a highly effective, high performing Science Department at the Hundred of Hoo all through Academy. Vacancies in this team are rare, as colleagues thrive in an atmosphere rich in collaboration and support. This high performing team are often drivers to whole Academy improvement. We are looking for talented and passionate Teacher of Science who truly wishes to inspire our pupils. Joining The Hundred of Hoo Academy will enable you to work with like-minded colleagues who share your goals and ambitions. Our successful candidate will join us in Easter 2020 and will be able to take advantage of a variety of professional development opportunities within the academy and across the wider Trust. Whether you are relatively new to the teaching profession or experienced, you will contribute to leading and shaping the vision and future of our school and wider organisation. This is a permanent, full time position.
Working with our academy: The Hundred of Hoo Academy is a unique all through academy with pupils from Reception up to Sixth Form, and whilst this role supports the entire academy, it is most likely the successful candidate will work with pupils aged 11-16 on a daily basis. In September 2011, The Hundred of Hoo converted to academy status. Just one year later, Ofsted judged the academy as “good with outstanding features” recognising the relentless focus and ambition that we have. In September 2015 the academy welcomed its first Reception class thereby extending its age range to 4-year-old children. This exciting provision demonstrates the academy’s sense of ambition to serve the community where pupils’ academic journey represents a cradle to university principle.
As a Trust we feel it is important to hire for the right attitude which is why we look for staff that are enthusiastic, focused and resilient to the day to day pressures that their role brings.
