Lead Practitioner for Science

We are looking for a dynamic and inspirational Lead Practitioner for Science to initially cover a maternity and then become a permanent role. The successful candidate will be an outstanding and reflective practitioner, excited by taking risks, and accepting that failure is a part of the learning process. They will promote lifelong learning through their constant drive to improve their own practice, as well as supporting those they work with to develop their skills. Their work as a Lead Practitioner will extend beyond their subject area.

Saracens High School has a family ethos and is committed to supporting staff in this rewarding job, while recognising the stress it puts upon us. With generously low teacher loadings, the opportunity for colleagues to take family days, access to a staff counsellor and the high spec school gym, we do all we can to look after our staff.

We have strong ties to the wider Saracens organisation, and we base all we do on the values Discipline, Hard Work, Honesty, and Humility. We focus on character development and making memories, as much as outstanding academic attainment. This year, KS4 progress was in the top 9% nationally, and our contextual value-added will place us signficantly higher.

Our aim is to develop aspirational life-long learners, who will thrive in their chosen career path, embracing our values, and demonstrating a strong moral purpose and a desire to make a positive contribution to society and their local community.
