Job overview
We are looking for a Head of Science to join our small friendly staff. Do you have a passion for your subject? Do you enjoy teaching small groups of children? Do you enjoy trying to get the very best out of individuals who may not have had a good experience of learning so far? We have a small well equipped lab and teach the AQA GCSE course at Key Stage 4. At Key stage 3 we have purchased an online learning system which allows for easy ongoing assessment. Most of the students really enjoy doing practical work but often need help to reach their full potential in examination conditions.
You will need to be flexible and have a good sense of humour. Experience of key stage 3 teaching or a Physics specialist would be an advantage but we are more interested in finding the "right person."
Applicants should have experience of teaching students who have emotional and behavioural difficulties.
Mid-Essex Co-operative Academy is a mixed 4-16 Pupil Referral Unit with strong partnership links to our referring schools. We cater for up to 135 pupils across Key Stages 1-4 and are based on two sites. The successful applicants will be based on our secondary site and will be required to teach KS3 and KS4, including the relevant GCSE specification.
The school is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and this appointment is subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references and pre-employment checks.

Mid-Essex Co-operative Academy is an 5-16 Alternative Provision Academy for 135 young people most of whom have found it difficult to be successful in a mainstream school.
We are very proud of the provision we offer. Students are taught in small groups and they study the core curriculum of English, Maths, Science, PE and PSHE at both Key Stage 3 and 4. In addition to the core curriculum, we provide rich and varied extended curriculum opportunities ranging from music, targeted literacy intervention, horse riding to vocational courses and work experience placements. Small classes benefit students and enable them to make good progress as staff can ensure that learning is tailored to individual student needs. You can view our full curriculum and you can see examples of recent student work in the news section.
At Key Stage 3, in partnership with local schools, we focus on supporting young people to return to a mainstream school. At Key Stage 4, we focus on providing the opportunity for students to gain 5 GCSEs to ensure a successful transition to post 16 education or training. Many of the young people who attend Mid-Essex Co-operative Academy arrive here at a point of crisis or conflict in their lives. It is our aim to ensure that we help them to regain a sense of confidence and self-esteem which allows them to compete on equal terms with their peers, despite the disruption to their education caused by leaving mainstream school. We have an on-going target that none of our Year 11 leavers are NEET (Not in education, employment or training) and we work with students, colleges and local employers to achieve this target.
