Responsible to recently appointed Head of Science

As a popular and successful school we are always excited to strengthen our staffing team and increase our curriculum choices for students. As a result of increasing student numbers and a growing Sixth Form we are seeking to appoint a teacher of Science.

The post will involve the teaching of Science to age ranges personalised to the strengths of the individual teacher, this could include Sixth Form teaching.

Therefore, we are looking to employ a well qualified teacher with a record of delivering high quality lessons with excellent student outcomes, or a recently qualified teacher.

For an exceptional candidate, consideration will be made to provide a TLR to take responsibility for a Key Stage.
