What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified and talented teacher of Science to join a hard-working and forward-looking team. The successful applicant must have the ability to teach general science at KS3 and KS4. The ability to teach Physics or Chemistry post-16 would be an advantage but is not essential.

You must have a strong commitment to teaching across the full ability range, and have a keen interest in contributing to the development of our curriculum to make science accessible and engaging to all.

What the school offers its staff

This is a great time to be joining the Science Department. We are a large and friendly team that works together to continually improve the way we teach science. We teach a broad curriculum and offer A-level science and L3 Applied science post-16. If you have the drive and enthusiasm to inspire and encourage young people with your teaching then you are warmly invited to apply.

We have had a very positive experience working with the Red Kite Alliance to provide mentoring to early careers teachers and applications from ECTs will be welcomed. We have a number of experienced mentors and many of our teachers first joined us as trainee teachers via the Red Kite teacher training programme.


Commitment to safeguarding

Our school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate will be subject to an enhanced DBS disclosure.
