Ready to spark curiosity, fire up experiments, and make science the lesson students actually talk about at lunch?
We’re working with a brilliant secondary school in Leeds looking for a passionate Science Teacher to join their team from September 2026. Whether you’re a Physics fanatic ⚛️, Biology buff, or Chemistry wizard, this school wants someone who can bring energy, confidence, and a bit of classroom magic to every lesson.
