Job description
At the heart of our school is a shared moral purpose — a commitment to ensuring every student receives an exceptional education and the opportunity to succeed. Nowhere is this more evident than in our Science Department, which is entering a dynamic new phase of growth and development.
We are proud to be opening a brand-new Science block, complete with two state-of-the-art laboratories and additional specialist teaching spaces. This modern, well-resourced environment has been designed to inspire both staff and students, reflecting the high value we place on science education and our ambition for the subject to continue to flourish.
Our Science team is genuinely supportive, values-driven, and deeply committed to professional growth. We have a strong track record of developing our own talent — with many colleagues having once been students here themselves, training with us and choosing to build their careers in the department. This speaks volumes about our culture, leadership, and shared sense of purpose.
If you are passionate about science education and eager to develop within a nurturing, forward-thinking team, we would love to hear from you.
We are looking for a dedicated and enthusiastic person who:
- has a passion for helping pupils thrive and meet their full potential
- has a friendly manner and can communicate effectively with staff and pupils
- can work effectively as part of a team but can also work independently using their own initiative.
- has experience of working in a similar school
In return, we offer you:
- an incredibly supportive group of colleagues and leaders
- comprehensive induction programme with a commitment to CPD
- Care First employee assistance programme
- non-contributory membership of Benenden private health care cover
- membership of the Teachers’ Pension Scheme
- two-week, half-term break in October
- cycle to work scheme
