Assess, track, and evaluate pupil academic performance, delivering tailored guidance to stretch high attainers while building confidence in developing scientists.
Lead or contribute to departmental STEM enrichment, including robotics clubs, national Science Olympiads, university masterclasses, and local industrial/research links.
Requirements
Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or an equivalent recognized teaching credential.
A strong academic degree in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, or a closely related STEM discipline.

Thorough knowledge of national Science specifications and examination board requirements (e.g., AQA, Edexcel, OCR).
Exceptional classroom leadership, laboratory safety awareness, and an infectious enthusiasm for scientific discovery and empirical inquiry.
Salary & Benefits
