Sutton High School is seeking an engaging and passionate teacher to teach Science to highly motivated girls on our combined Science course in Key Stage 3.

The willingness to teach one science to GCSE would be an advantage, but this key teaching role will focus on our younger pupils, ensuring they are motivated to study the sciences, creating challenging and thought-provoking lessons, with an emphasis on creativity and collaboration.

This is a full-time role, or part-time role across at least four days a week.

Please ensure that you state any additional subjects that you teach in your application, along with letting us know what sort of part-time allocation you are seeking, or if you seek a full-time role.

This role would be ideally suited to an ECT, looking to join a supportive department, with superb ECT provision for professional development. Experienced teachers are also most welcome to apply.

Applications will be considered in the order in which they are received, and we reserve the right to close this vacancy early, should a suitable applicant be found.
