About the Role

A genuine passion for your subject and a commitment to inspiring curiosity in science will be essential in engaging and motivating students.

This role is suitable for both Early Career Teachers (ECTs) and experienced educators who are committed to fostering a love for science and empowering students to achieve their potential.

• Work as part of a multidisciplinary team, liaising with SENCOs, therapists, and pastoral staff to provide holistic support for students.
• Promote positive behaviour management strategies to create a structured and engaging learning environment.

Requirements:
