  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent - or substantial experience teaching Science in secondary or alternative provision settings
  • Strong subject knowledge in Biology, Chemistry and/or Physics
  • Experience or willingness to work with students who have additional needs (e.g. SEMH, behavioural or social challenges) - though support and training will be provided
  • Excellent communication, empathy, patience and classroom-management skills
  • A flexible, caring and student-centred approach

    • What We Offer

  • A permanent, full-time contract in a supportive and inclusive school environment
  • Competitive day-rate pay of £180‒£240, reflecting experience and commitment
  • Rewarding opportunity to make a real difference for young people who need an alternative to mainstream schooling
  • A collaborative and compassionate staff team, committed to holistic student development
