Teacher of Secondary Science

Discover what we can offer you, that other schools don't!

Would you like to work nine days but be paid for ten?

From September 2024, we have implemented a 9-day working fortnight for all permanent staff. The premise is simple, you will work nine days but be paid for ten, using the tenth day to 'reset', and thus giving you the opportunity to manage your work-life balance more effectively. You will also enjoy an additional Wellness Day.

Feedback from our current staff is unsurprisingly positive! The thought of coming back in September was less overwhelming and following their first day of reset, staff say they feel more relaxed, recharged and ready for whatever the next nine working days bring!

Could this make the difference you need?

Add to this a significant investment in your professional development and the possibility of onsite accommodation if you need to relocate, plus facilities that are second to none, including an excellent canteen, gym and coffee shop.

Take your career to the next level

As the only all ability academy in Buckinghamshire, we do whatever it takes to tackle disadvantage and provide an outstanding education to everyone.

You can join us as you take your career to the next level.

Explore the opportunity

We are seeking an enthusiastic teacher to join our successful Science department to teach Biology, Chemistry and Physics to KS3 and KS4, and potentially KS5. You will join a leading department in a heavily over-subscribed academy.

The Science department is staffed with a mixture of experienced teachers, ECTs and two technicians, all with a commitment to continuous school improvement. We have a suite of dedicated Science laboratories, all with newly installed up to date technology, plus a recently refurbished lab and Sixth Form facilities.

You will be keen to promote the Science department and improve upon the opportunities available to our students. We want an individual to enhance the experience of our pupils both in and out of the classroom, someone who is innovative in their specialism and truly wants to inspire the Highcrest's future scientists. The ability to teach a second Science could be an advantage.

If you're ready to join our team, please complete our online application form via the apply button.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Closing date: 21 October 2024.

Please note, we will be reviewing applications on an ongoing basis and may close the advert early should we receive an exceptional candidate, so we recommend applying early.

The Highcrest Academy is fully committed to safeguarding children (polices on web). All members of staff are in a "regulated" role under the Vetting & Barring Scheme and have to be DBS cleared prior to employment.
