Science (0.4) for Bere Clinic Hospital School in Waterlooville, Hampshire

Teacher of Science

We are seeking to appoint a teacher of Science for a unique opportunity to work in a hospital-based school for 12 young people aged 11-17 with eating disorders. 

You will be someone who is passionate and highly motivated to achieve the best outcomes for the young people who join the school and help to create an outstanding centre of education.

The successful candidate will have responsibility for developing the Science Curriculum, resourcing your subject area and actively seeking opportunities for our young people to engage in creative projects.  We are restricted in the access to the same materials you would enjoy in mainstream so a creative approach to embedding practical into lessons would be strongly encouraged and supported. Many students have missed this important aspect of Science through Covid lock down and previous hospital admissions.

If you are looking for a new challenge and are committed to making a difference for young people, then this opportunity could be for you! You will need to be flexible, compassionate, patient and have a healthy sense of humour. You will be working in a small team of 6 subject specialists within the school and well supported by the wider Elysium healthcare hospital community.
