Teacher of Science

St Aidan’s is a Catholic learning community for boys aged 11-18, in which all individuals are provided with the opportunity to flourish in a way that is rooted firmly in the values of the Gospel where each child can ‘Celebrate life to the full’. Our ethos and practice is proudly rooted in these beliefs and in the core values: Hard Work, Trust and Fairness. From the moment a pupil arrives at St Aidan’s Catholic Academy we expect them to live by these values.

Our values driven policies, clear vision and consistent routines demand and nurture a strong sense of moral purpose, personal responsibility, integrity, honesty and respect for others within our pupils. These qualities enable each of our young men to reach the top of their mountain, fulfilling their potential and having a choice of University or a high quality career.

We have an immediate opening for a Teacher of Science.

The successful candidate will join a team who are dedicated to empowering our pupils to excel and achieve whilst expanding their horizons in a nurturing environment. Our commitment to high-quality teaching, focus on mastery of knowledge and partnerships with parents and the local community provide a richness of experience that enables all to develop their God given talents.

We are seeking to appoint a well-qualified and enthusiastic teacher who would relish the opportunity to teach Science at KS3 and KS4 (all disciplines). The successful applicant will join a thriving department and have the privilege of teaching pupils who are polite, impeccably behaved and engaged in class.
