What skills and experience we're looking for

We are seeking a Teacher of Science to join our small and friendly team in September 2023, or earlier if possible. We positively welcome applications from colleagues at all stages in their career. We offer a supportive leadership team, a professional research approach to CPD, a strong ethos of pastoral support and extra-curricular learning and opportunities to contribute to ongoing school improvement and leadership.

This role is working across both Solway Community School and Beacon Hill Community School, teaching Biology, Chemistry and Physics across the age and ability range. As you would expect in small schools with a family ethos, we all pitch in to ensure our students are taught well and supported superbly.

What the school offers its staff

At Cumbria Future Federation we work at the heart of our communities. Our small secondary schools are inclusive, welcoming and ambitious. With a wide range of abilities in each class and an innovative curriculum, our ‘Good’ schools punch well above their weight and provide a unique experience for our students.

Our small, friendly schools provide excellent opportunities to be involved in school-wide activities as well as the challenge of teaching across the age and ability range. You will be ambitious and inspirational in the classroom, determined to ensure all learners achieve, whatever their ability. We will give you excellent support whatever stage you are at in your career, with the freedom to be creative and innovative in the classroom and to take on a breadth of responsibilities that are not always available in larger schools.

If you feel you share our values, then we would like to hear from you. For an informal conversation about the role and what it is like working for us, please contact the school office to arrange a chat with our Headteacher or Deputy Headteacher.
