Job overview
Science Teacher – Maternity Cover
We are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Science Teacher to cover for Maternity Leave. The successful candidate will be able to inspire and motivate our girls and will enjoy working in this small, family centred non selective school with high aspirations, low average class sizes and great results.
Science is a highly successful subject at DSTC. The department is well-resourced with very good lab facilities and a strong team of teachers and technicians. The successful candidate will teach our two-year Key Stage 3 programme as well as our Key Stage 4 students. We teach both GCSE combined and separate Sciences so a strong subject knowledge in these subjects is essential.
Dartford Science and Technology College is a Good school where "pupils achieve well and thrive" and "all groups of pupils achieve well" (Ofsted March 2017). We have a clear vision for the future and have set a range of challenging targets. This is a high quality learning community for girls aged 11-18 with a mixed Sixth Form. Our ethos puts learning at the heart of everything we do.
DSTC is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all its staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

About Dartford Science & Technology College
We are proud to be a popular and oversubscribed stand alone Foundation school working with the Co-operative Trust. Consequently we embrace the Trust ethos of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equity, equality and solidarity. We are the only non-selective girls’ school in Dartford which makes us unique. Despite the competitive environment of the selective system, many of our students have passed the Kent selection test and thrive in our ambitious, developmental and safe environment: regardless of their starting point, all students have the opportunity to flourish.
It is an exciting time in our journey and all staff have the opportunity to drive meaningful change. We have a culture of high quality teaching underpinned by a belief that all lessons should challenge, support and inspire students to be intellectually curious and develop a lifelong passion for learning. We are aspirational for our students and promote engagement in learning across the school and teachers enjoy being able to teach in an environment which prioritises this.
