• Experience planning and delivering engaging, well-structured Science lessons and assessing student progress.
• The ability to make scientific concepts accessible through clear explanations, practical activities and effective teaching strategies.
• The ability to establish positive relationships with students while maintaining high standards of behaviour and achievement.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively with colleagues, parents and carers.
• The right to work in the UK for the duration of the appointment.
• A commitment to safeguarding, professional conduct and the wider responsibilities of working in a school.
