Science Teacher - Fuel Innovation in Wigan!

Are you an energetic Science Teacher (QTS) looking for a rewarding role in a town with a proud heritage and a bright future? We are seeking a versatile specialist to join a supportive Secondary School in the heart of Wigan.

If you can explain the laws of physics, the reactions of chemistry, and the mysteries of biology in a way that captivates students, this is the perfect opportunity to make a lasting impact in a community-focused school.

The Assignment: Empowering the Next Generation of Scientists

We are looking for a proactive QTS Science Teacher for a temporary or contract position in Wigan. You will be joining a department that values practical, hands‑on learning and is dedicated to raising aspirations across the borough.

Whether you are preparing Year 11s for their final GCSE papers or introducing Year 7s to the laboratory for the first time, your expertise will be vital in maintaining a high standard of education and a culture of inquiry.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Dynamic Teaching: Deliver engaging lessons across Biology, Chemistry, and Physics for KS3 and KS4, ensuring the curriculum is accessible to all.

• Effective Assessment: Track student progress and provide clear, constructive feedback to help them master complex scientific concepts.

• Laboratory Leadership: Maintain a safe and inspiring lab environment, strictly following health and safety (CLEAPSS) protocols during practical demonstrations.

• Team Synergy: Work closely with the science technicians and the wider faculty to ensure lesson continuity and shared success.

• Positive Presence: Uphold the school's behaviour and safeguarding policies, creating a respectful and focused learning atmosphere for all Wigan students.

What We Are Looking For

• QTS Status: Mandatory, accompanied by a degree in a Science subject.

• Secondary Experience: Proven success teaching Science at KS3 and KS4 (GCSE) levels.

• Adaptability: The ability to join a new school and immediately build rapport with students and staff.

• Resilience: A professional who can handle the fast‑paced nature of a busy secondary environment with a "can-do" attitude.

• Clearance: A current Enhanced Child DBS on the update service (or a willingness to apply for one).

Why Choose Wigan with Randstad?

• Competitive Daily Rates: Earn £150 - £230 per day, reflecting your specialist knowledge.

• Prime Greater Manchester Location: Work in a town with excellent transport links and a strong community spirit.

• Total Flexibility: Gain diverse experience without the long‑term commitments of a permanent role.

• Referral Rewards: Receive a £300 bonus for every friend you refer to us who is successfully placed!
