Role Purpose

You will deliver a broad, balanced and differentiated Science curriculum that engages students of varying ages and abilities. You will create a positive learning environment that enables every student to reach their full academic potential, while closely monitoring and supporting their progress and development.

• Create a positive, inclusive learning environment that supports both enjoyment and achievement.
• Work collaboratively with colleagues, parents/carers and external agencies where needed to support student success.
• Participate in enrichment, extracurricular activities, trips, events and wider school life that enrich student learning and personal growth.
• Support students' personal development and pastoral wellbeing alongside their academic growth.

• Committed to inclusion, equity, and supporting every student as an individual.
• Enthusiastic about working in a collaborative staff community that values continuous development.
• Ready to commit to student-centred education, supporting academic and personal growth.
• Eager to contribute beyond lessons - including clubs, extracurriculars, trips, pastoral support and enrichment initiatives.

What's on Offer

• Competitive pay (M1-M6), offering transparent scale and progression.
• Permanent full-time contract starting January 2026.
• A supportive, evidence-informed environment with opportunities for professional growth and leadership development.
• Access to a broad curriculum structure that balances academic challenge with pastoral care and personal development.
