Job overview
Plymouth CAST Multi-Academy Trust is seeking a committed and aspirational teacher to join their Science team within their secondary schools (Notre Dame Plymouth and St. Boniface’s Catholic College). Successful candidates will embrace our ethos, contribute to school improvement plans and raising standards in Science, working hard to help students make good progress and spread a passion for Science and promote STEM career pathways.
Applications from experienced and newly qualified teachers will be equally valued.
The successful candidate will be a general scientist; however, we will be pleased to know your specialist subject and Physics or Chemistry specialism could be advantageous. They will be able to inspire, enthuse, engage, motivate and challenge students to raise achievement at all levels within a culture of high expectations of both staff and students.
We expect successful applicants to show within their application, and at interview, their passion for working with young people and be able to explain how they will embrace and support the Trust’s ethos.
Application supporting statements should clearly address why you wish to work for Notre Dame & St Boniface's College (see www.ndonline.org and www.stbonifaces.com for more information) along with information about how your skills and experience would support you to be effective in this role.
Both secondary schools are Roman Catholic, comprehensive, single-sex schools (Notre Dame – girls, St Boniface’s – boys) with a mixed sixth form at Notre Dame. We value our Catholic ethos, but you don’t need to be a Catholic to apply to work for either school. We ask that our staff support our ethos and Christian attitudes.
Applications should be submitted using the TES portal by the closing date stated below.
The school reserves the right to close the vacancy early if sufficient applications are received to proceed to interview. Applicants are encouraged to submit applications swiftly to avoid disappointment.
Closing date: Midnight, Sunday 2nd October 2022
Interviews: October 2022

About Notre Dame School
Thank you for taking an interest in Notre Dame School and St Boniface's College. Our schools have a proud tradition dating back to the 19th Century, and we preserve a distinctive approach to education of the whole child.
As Catholic schools we are open to those of all faiths and none, and we offer single sex faith-based education for students from all over Plymouth, with students also joining our schools from Cornwall and West Devon. Girls attend Notre Dame School, and boys attend St Boniface's College. We have a joint Sixth Form that operates principally from Notre Dame.
We place great emphasis on success in its broadest sense, believing that paying attention to the culture in which young people learn is the key to happy and successful students, and staff who enjoy and are fulfilled in their work.
Our curriculum sets out to form students ready for life, not just for the workplace. We recognise that teachers must be supported in bringing their passion and creativity to learning, and that all staff play a part in the formation of the young. We take seriously our mission to send young adults out into the world to make future society a better society. We always seek to recruit people who instinctively want this too, people who have a vision of education that serves the needs of tomorrow, not merely performance frameworks. Through a range of courses and qualifications from key stages 3 to 5 we constantly seek to build a learning experience that engages and inspires, paying as much attention to the super-curriculum as we do to formal taught studies.
Catholic education is a gift to the world, with a concern for social justice, a fairer society, and attention to formation of the person as a unique creation. Whether you are Catholic or not, you will be welcomed to play your part in helping us to build such a vision and model of education. We believe in investing strongly in professional formation, and creating professional opportunities, knowing that every person who works with us has their own aspirations, and seeks fulfilment in their role.
We want you to enjoy working at Notre Dame School and St. Boniface's College. Our staff consider the sense of community and the motivation of students as our schools’ greatest strengths. Our visitors tell us that they are struck by the friendliness of our students and colleagues, the quality of our learning environment and the ethos of the schools.
If you’d like to find out more, we’d love to hear from you and to show you around!
