About the School
Located in Camden, this is a diverse and academically ambitious secondary school with a busy sixth form and a strong focus on raising aspirations. Science is an important part of the school's curriculum, with well-resourced laboratories and an experienced department covering all three core sciences. Teachers aim to make Science engaging, practical and challenging. Pupils are encouraged to ask questions, develop their problem-solving abilities and consider future pathways into medicine, engineering, healthcare, technology and scientific research.
What Will You Be Doing?
You could spend your morning supporting a Year 10 Chemistry lesson before working with a small group of Year 11 pupils who need additional GCSE intervention. Later, you might assist with a Biology practical, provide individual Physics support or help create revision resources. As your confidence increases, the school will encourage you to take on greater responsibility, potentially including leading interventions and delivering parts of lessons under teacher supervision.

The ideal candidate will hold a degree in Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Biomedical Science, Biochemistry, Natural Sciences or another closely related discipline.
