Teacher of Science

Are you a dedicated, enthusiastic and highly motivated teacher of Science? If so, we would like to meet you.

London Enterprise Academy is a Free School at the heart of London’s vibrant East End. The Academy opened in September 2014 with year 7’s only, in a former glass office block, which has been fully renovated to a high standard. The Academy will grow to six hundred students aged 11-16 when fully operational and will provide a stimulating education and personalised curriculum within a supportive environment.  All of our students will be encouraged to stretch themselves to achieve their potential.   

Our Science department consists of highly experienced teachers who have been judged outstanding by Ofsted, including a former Advanced Skills Teacher. We have vast experience working with both NQTs and experienced teachers, and are able to provide effective support to help any successful candidate to help further develop their teaching.  The department has five brand new Science labs, a highly experienced technician, and a wide and exciting array of new scientific resources. 

Required from April or September 2018 or earlier, the successful candidate will be a creative individual, excited by the challenge of working in Science. He or she will be a problem solver, looking for opportunities to craft engaging explorations and discoveries from any aspect of school life.  

We are looking for an outstanding teacher who has had experience of teaching Science within the secondary setting. This post would equally suit either an experienced practitioner wanting a new challenge or an NQT wishing to work with a group of dynamic teachers as they develop their teaching skills.

• Hold DfE Qualified Teacher Status, an undergraduate degree and preferably a postgraduate degree

• Believe that every child can and will succeed   
• Be flexible, collaborative and resilient   
• Contribute to the whole life of the school through our extensive enrichment programme.  
• Have the highest ambitions for your pupils, the department, the school and yourself 

We will offer you: 

• A unique opportunity to help build the school and the department   
• A happy and supportive working environment with high expectations and standards  
• An opportunity to pioneer an exciting, academic curriculum  
• A network of outstanding practitioners to collaborate with and learn from Leadership and management opportunities as the school grows
