Science Teacher – Sparking Curiosity, Not Just Circuits
Daventry
KS3 & KS4 (Biology, Chemistry, or Physics welcome)
Let’s be honest: Science class should blow minds (not just balloons).
We're after someone who doesn't just teach science—they live it. Whether you specialise in atoms, arteries, or acceleration, we want someone who can light up a room like magnesium ribbon and keep students buzzing long after the bell rings.
This is a role for the passionate and the practical. The ones who can explain osmosis and control a fizzing experiment. You’ll build practical skills, raise scientific literacy, and inspire students to ask better questions—not just get the “right” answers.
Ideal if you:
Secretly love the smell of a science prep room
Can balance safety with excitement in every lesson
Believe science is political, powerful, and personal
We’re not just another secondary school in Daventry — we’re a community where ambition meets compassion, where staff are trusted, supported and empowered to do the best work of their careers. When you join The Parker, you’re signing up for more than a timetable — you’re joining a movement.
Here’s what makes us different:
We invest in you.
Professional development isn’t just a buzzword here. From weekly coaching to national CPD programmes, you’ll get the tools you need to grow — whether you’re an NQT finding your feet or a seasoned expert refining your craft.
Collaboration is our culture.
You’re never on your own. Our teachers plan together, problem-solve together, and share success (and the occasional chocolate biscuit) as a team. We thrive on open doors, shared practice, and collective energy.
Wellbeing is a priority, not a poster.
Work-life balance matters. We cut unnecessary admin, streamline policies, and protect time for what really counts. You’ll also have access to a full wellbeing package, mental health support, and flexible working conversations.
Part of something bigger.
As part of the trust you’re connected to a national network of likeminded educators, resources, and opportunities. That means more ideas, more support, and real career pathways — within our trust and beyond.
