Teacher of Science

Essa Academy Science faculty are seeking to recruit a dynamic, talented individual who believes that all students can succeed. The successful candidate will be joining a unique, supportive, happy faculty and will work alongside dedicated, forward thinking practitioners. Our vision is for all students wanting all students to gain substantive and disciplinary knowledge for life, through a love of science.

Our carefully planned curriculum enables our students to access engaging, informative and thought provoking lessons, through a variety of delivery methods and experiences to interest and inspire our learners.

Our curriculum is explicitly linked to careers, real life problems and all other subjects across the curriculum, showing the importance of Science in our everyday lives. Our Year 10 and 11 students currently work towards completing AQA GCSE Trilogy Combined Science or AQA GCSE Separate Sciences. Students in Years 7, 8 and 9 learn Science in line with the National Curriculum for Science to build a strong foundation for this. The Science faculty is currently comprised of two science technicians as well as nine teaching staff who all teach Biology, Chemistry and Physics to all year groups. Our curriculum engages students of all abilities. We strive to create a love of learning and we are committed to developing a holistic child.

The successful candidate will be a passionate and inspirational teacher with a real desire to build resilience in their students and improve teaching and learning. Upholding our high standards and a commitment to achieving excellent results for our students is essential. To allow teachers to do this effectively, we offer generous levels of PPA, which allows our team to collaborate and move the faculty forward at a rapid pace while maintaining work life balance.

We particularly welcome applications from newly qualified teachers or main scale teachers with a thirst for progression.

This role is initially offered on a fixed term basis for 12 months
