The Role
We are looking to appoint a successful and experienced Science Teacher to fill the position of 2nd in Faculty. This role is a crucial part of our established, supportive, and committed faculty who make a real difference with our young people.

The faculty is well-established, well-resourced, and highly supportive. Led by a Head of Faculty, and a member of the Senior Leadership Team, they work collaboratively, always putting the needs of our students at the forefront of what we do. We have nine spacious and equipped laboratories, two Science Technicians and a large preparation room located in the centre of the faculty. We would love to show you round our department and our academy. Science is taught passionately across all year groups, Year 7 through to Post 16 and Triple Science is offered through our guided Pathways process.
Results in Science are on an upward trend, and we are driven to ensure this continues. This role offers you the opportunity to develop and excel as a teacher, within a strong and effective team of practitioners. We understand that working collaboratively not only improves outcomes but also reduces workload.
We offer:
· Salary commensurate to your experience
· A strong and ongoing CPD program
· Opportunities for career development and progression
· Teachers’ pension scheme
· Use of the onsite gym
· A Senior Team that are keen to drive school improvement and are open to innovation and creative thinking
· A strong commitment to staff wellbeing
