We are looking for a dynamic, passionate and inspiring leader of science. As Director of Science, you will be part of the senior leadership team. You will be central to ensuring the best standards, outcomes and engagement in science. 

You will first and foremost be an excellent Science teacher who leads by example. You will have a track record of always putting young people first, and the ability to inspire and take students and colleagues with you to continually improve our students’ learning in science. 

At KEVICC you will have the chance to work alongside a great group of colleagues who are all committed to the absolute best for our young people.

Most importantly, you will get to work with our fantastic students, with the chance everyday to see the impact you have on their experience of learning. 

You will also be joining a forward-thinking school that is excited by the opportunities collaboration brings with like-minded partners. We are excited to have just begun the process of joining Education South West, a trust of local primary and secondary schools that includes a nationally recognised teaching school hub at Kingsbridge. 

We want an exceptional leader, with the energy, vision, work ethic and good humour to inspire and drive standards across science.

We offer: · 

• A highly supportive team of colleagues who are visible, hard-working and committed to our young people. 

• Ongoing bespoke professional development and career pathways, including National Professional Qualifications. 

• The chance to work with great young people in a comprehensive setting, in a beautiful part of the country.

• Recently refurbished science labs, and a multi-million £ investment programme planned across the school over the coming 3 years. 

• The opportunity to lead science learning across a truly comprehensive mixed age range, from Y7 all the way up to Y13.
