Science Teacher

Priory Education and Children’s Services is a leading company in the UK offering independent behavioural care for commissioners across the UK. With over 100 high quality schools, colleges and homes we focus on making a real and lasting difference for everyone we support.

Eastwood Grange is a day school that provides a high quality of education to our pupils who all experience Emotional, Social and Mental Health Difficulties. We are a forward looking and innovative school that seek to transform the lives of the pupils in our care.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast developing school by building on our Ofsted ‘Good’ in December 2015; we are aiming to achieve “Outstanding” in our next inspection. Your experience, knowledge, enthusiasm and innovation will help you to deliver high quality and exciting lessons that will be fully supported by the schools leadership.

We are looking for an innovative and creative thinker who can bring the curriculum to life both inside and outside of the classroom environment. We are keen to hear from educational professionals who can think outside of the box in order to engage and enthuse a diverse range of abilities in the learning process. You will bring ideas, energy, enthusiasm and a commitment to measuring progress, raising attainment and increasing the profile of Science across the school.

You will be leading Science across Key Stages 3 and 4. As well as supporting whole school pastoral support.

An ability to teach other subjects would be an advantage as you will be required to support the schools offer of a broad and balanced curriculum.

We want all of our pupils to experience the best in a high quality learning environment. Our curriculum is supported by our own therapeutic team that work alongside our teaching staff to help and support the pupils.

You will benefit from opportunities for further professional development and career progression as we value and support our staff in all aspects of school life. We have a comprehensive induction programme for staff and a highly supportive leadership team.

Visits to the school would be warmly welcomed.

If you share our ambition to provide an outstanding education for our pupils, we would welcome an application from you.
