Hugh Christie School

Full-Time Teacher of Science

Are you enthusiastic to spark a curiosity for Science in our young people? Are you keen to keep developing your own subject and pedagogical knowledge? Are you looking to collaborate and grow in a supportive and dedicated team?

We are delighted to have the opportunity to take on a new Science Teacher who loves their subject, is eager to engage in research and believes that every student should be given the best chance to succeed. We are looking for a teacher who will bring their own dynamism and positive attitude and become a trusted and valued team member.

The successful candidate will have high expectations of their students, strong subject knowledge. The ability or desire to teach A-level Physics, Biology or Chemistry is a bonus.

Working in a custom-built modern facility with spacious laboratories and a dedicated office for the Science team, we strive to excite our students with our ‘big ideas’ Science curriculum which is underpinned by a strong understanding of key knowledge and vocabulary.

CPD is at the heart of good teaching and the heart of our Department vision: the successful candidate will be supported to continue their own learning and develop their own specialisms and interests.

Hugh Christie is a mixed all-ability school rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted in 2017. The school is a welcoming community with a friendly atmosphere. All staff strive to ensure every child is happy, successful and prepared for adult life.

To support teacher welfare, we benefit from an early 1.35pm finish on Fridays and a two-week half term in October.

This position would suit an Early Career Teacher, a teacher looking for their first move or an experienced teacher in search of a collaborative and innovative department.
