Science Teacher – Fantastic Career Opportunity in Norwich!

• Science Teacher required for a secondary school in Norwich
• Opportunity to teach Science within a collaborative and student-focused department
• Applications welcome from experienced teachers, ECTs and suitably qualified international applicants

Our client is seeking an enthusiastic and committed Science Teacher to join its teaching team in Norwich. This is an exciting opportunity for a subject specialist who enjoys making scientific ideas accessible and inspiring students to develop a lasting interest in Biology, Chemistry and Physics.

The successful candidate will teach Science across the relevant key stages, supporting students as they develop the knowledge and practical skills required by the curriculum. You will be expected to deliver well-planned lessons that combine clear explanations, effective demonstrations, structured investigations and regular opportunities for students to apply their learning.

The school is looking for a teacher who can encourage curiosity and scientific reasoning while maintaining high expectations for progress and behaviour. You should be able to identify misconceptions, adapt lessons to different levels of understanding and use assessment information to inform future planning.

Depending on your specialism and the school’s requirements, the role may involve teaching Biology, Chemistry, Physics or Combined Science. You will work with departmental colleagues to develop resources, share effective teaching practices and ensure that students are well prepared for their examinations.

School Information

Situated in Norwich, the school is seeking a dedicated Science Teacher who can contribute to effective teaching and the wider development of its students.

The school is therefore looking for someone who can demonstrate the relevance of scientific learning to the world beyond the classroom, including environmental challenges, technological developments, health and future careers.

This opportunity may suit an experienced teacher looking for a new position or an ECT keen to build confidence and develop effective classroom practice.
