What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking an enthusiastic, resilient and inspirational Teacher of Science to join our dedicated team. This is an exciting opportunity for a passionate practitioner to teach Science across Key Stages 2, 3 and 4, whilst supporting the development and delivery of Science throughout the school. The successful candidate will play a key role in ensuring a coherent and progressive Science curriculum from primary through to secondary, supporting colleagues with curriculum delivery and sharing subject expertise where appropriate.
