About This Role

Work where it matters most, achieve what matters more.

Be part of a team where passion meets purpose, as we work together where the challenge is greatest to change the lives and build the futures of children and young people.

Do you love Chemistry and want to share that spark with young people? We’re looking for an enthusiastic, skilled and ambitious Teacher of Science to join our friendly team after May half term 2027 – or at the end of your ECT course. Whether you’re just starting out or are already an experienced teacher, we’d love to hear from you. We’ll give you the professional development and support you need to grow your career with us at Ormiston Sudbury Academy.

As our Teacher of Science, ideally you will have a specialism in Chemistry. We’d love to hear from you if you’re an excellent classroom practitioner – or well on your way to becoming one – who is passionate about Science and ambitious for all students. You’ll bring a high level of professionalism, the ability to inspire young people and excellent interpersonal skills as a committed team player.

Our science department aims to inspire students to understand the world they live in through learning. You’ll be joining a supportive team, delivering a rich, well-resourced curriculum, and working alongside colleagues who are ambitious for our students and passionate about deep learning.

About The Academy

Ormiston Sudbury Academy is an 11–16 school with around 700 students, and we’re passionate about the education, care and development of every one of them.

Pastoral care is a real strength here – the kindness and respect our staff model every day are values our students carry with them. We’re committed to equality of opportunity for all, and we’re always looking to improve – working not just harder, but smarter, as individuals and together.

It’s an exciting time to join us. Our staff work together to improve outcomes for students and keep developing as professionals – and in spring 2028 we’ll be moving into a brand-new school building.

What We Can Offer You

• a happy, supportive place to work, with a real sense of community and high expectations of staff and students alike.
• an atmosphere of mutual support and co-operation, with access to superb professional development and promotion opportunities.
• a range of CPD opportunities, inside and outside the classroom, to develop your pedagogy and your career.
• evidence-informed teaching and learning strategies and a consistent approach to behaviour, so learning isn’t disrupted.
• opportunities to collaborate with colleagues across Ormiston Academies Trust.
• a range of staff benefits, including discounts at major retailers through Vivup, a contributory pension scheme and a staff advice and counselling service.
