What skills and experience we're looking for

Altrincham College is seeking to appoint a Teacher of Science who will lead on the Key Stage 4 curriculum and provision, supported by the Head of Department. This is a new role in our Science department, as we seek to further extend the excellent curriculum and expertise which is currently in place within our Science department.

Candidates should have experience of teaching Science at Key Stages 3, 4 and 5 and a sound knowledge and genuine passion for this subject area. Teachers who specialise in either Biology or Physics would be desirable but not essential.

Additional responsibility

The successful candidate will assume a role which will develop the skills and pedagogy of other colleagues across the department, specifically in relation to adaptive teaching (at all key stages).

The candidate will have a proven track record of demonstrable impact for all learners.

Reporting to the Head of Science, the successful candidate will be an integral part of the team. This is an exciting opportunity for an outstanding, creative teacher with the drive, passion and commitment to join our hugely talented team of staff, working together to encourage and support every child in reaching their full potential.

Please note that we do not employ unqualified teachers. Only applications from candidates with QTS status will be considered for any teaching post.
