• Proven Success: Experience teaching the UK Science curriculum at the secondary level.

• Strategic Thinker: The ability to plan effective revision sessions and practicals that maximize learning time.

• Safeguarding: A current Enhanced Child DBS on the update service (or willingness to obtain one).

What We Offer

• Highly Competitive Pay: Daily rates of £150 - £230, reflecting your experience and subject specialty.

• January 2026 Start: Secure your post-Christmas role now and enjoy the peace of mind of a confirmed placement.

• Ideal Location: Work in a well-connected Lancashire town with excellent links to Preston, Wigan, and Manchester.
