Are you interested in delivering a high-quality science education that inspires curiosity and fascination about the world? Are you knowledgeable about what we are made from, how the world responds to change, new ideas and theories, and the interaction between the living and non-living environment? Do you have a passion which drives you to educate young people so that they can explain how the Earth, its inhabitants, and the wider universe is evolving all of the time? If so, read on.

Wellfield Academy is a growing school with an exciting future working in partnership with Endeavour Learning Trust. We are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic Teacher of Science. The successful candidate will join a forward-thinking academy with a relentless focus on high standards and providing outstanding learning experiences and raising attainment for all. 

For our staff, we are firmly committed to ensuring this is a job that can be enjoyed, where everyone can flourish. We pay close attention to work/life balance and, across the trust; we are developing strategies that take a common-sense approach to those aspects of the role that could become an unnecessary burden on workload such as feedback and marking and centralised detentions. We have a strong, consistent behaviour policy where staff are fully supported in their teaching and students understand the consequences of their actions.

Our collaboration is central to our Trust and our teachers learn together, sharing their practice and encouraging and supporting each other to get the best out of our working day. The candidate will have opportunities to work with other colleagues in the Trust and Schools Alliance to support and develop the teaching of Science with our family of schools.
