Pay: Pay to scale
Contract: Full-time
-----------------------------------
Love a good experiment? Even better when it works.
We’re looking for a Science Teacher who can bring energy to the lab, spark curiosity in the classroom, and make “Miss, is this going to be on the test?” sound almost… enthusiastic.
This is a fantastic secondary school in Wakefield with strong leadership, supportive departments, and students who genuinely engage when lessons are delivered with confidence and clarity. The Science department is well-resourced, well-organised, and big on collaboration. No lone wolves here. Planning is shared, ideas are welcomed, and wins are celebrated.
If you’re the kind of teacher who loves seeing that lightbulb moment when a tricky concept finally clicks, you’ll fit right in.
-----------------------------------
What you’ll be doing
* Teaching Science across KS3 and KS4
* Creating engaging, practical lessons that make learning stick
* Building positive, consistent classroom routines
* Working alongside a supportive and experienced Science team
* Helping pupils grow in confidence, not just grades
Whether your specialism is Biology, Chemistry or Physics, there’s room for your expertise here.
-----------------------------------
What the school offers
* Clear behaviour systems that actually work
* Supportive SLT who value staff wellbeing
* A collaborative department with shared resources
* A positive school culture where effort is recognised
* Opportunities to develop and take on responsibility if that’s your thing
This is a school that understands great teaching doesn’t happen in isolation. You’ll be backed, supported, and trusted to do what you do best.
-----------------------------------
What we’re looking for
* UK QTS
* Strong subject knowledge across Science
* Confident classroom presence
* Someone who builds rapport quickly and sets clear expectations
* A teacher who wants to make a real impact, not just fill a timetable
Early Career Teachers are welcome, you’ll be supported properly. Experienced teachers looking for a fresh start are equally encouraged. If you’re good at what you do and care about your craft, we want to hear from you.
