Teacher of Science - Admiral Lord Nelson School in Portsmouth

Admiral Lord Nelson School is seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Science teacher who works well in a team. We are looking for a specialist with strong subject knowledge, who quickly builds relationships with students and breaks down barriers to learning. We want a teacher who inspires children to achieve their potential and loves to see their students experiencing the joy of success every day in their learning. Early Career Teachers are welcome to apply.

Salterns Academy Trust is a learning community where every member of staff understands the difference they can make to our students’ outcomes, both academically and to their personal development. Our commitment to being a UNICEF Rights Respecting School is at the heart of our inclusive ethos and curriculum, with mutually respectful relationships forming the foundation of our happy, successful school.

Science is one of the most highly regarded subject areas at Admiral Lord Nelson School, in which students are successful in terms of exam performance, enjoyment of their learning and preparation for their future lives. The department is extremely well-led by a supportive Curriculum Director, ably supported by an excellent team of TLR post-holders.

You will be joining a well-established, research-driven Science department and become part of an innovative team of teachers who enjoy working together to create shared resources. Reducing unnecessary workload is a key focus for our school and this is reflected in our feedback policy, which is effective and time-efficient, promoting student progress without overburdening staff.

All teachers have their own specialist classroom, which is well-equipped including access to a smart board, visualisers and a range of scientific equipment. The department is also leading the drive on teachers using technology to further enhance the quality of education that we provide within our science curriculum, both in school in lessons and for Independent Learning.

ECTs with the potential to become outstanding practitioners will be offered a full induction process and ongoing professional development. If you are ambitious and looking to take the next step, we will invest in your development and offer rapid career progression for those who aspire to be middle leaders or senior leaders of the future.

Salterns Academy Trust is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. All successful candidates will be subject to Disclosure and Barring checks along with other relevant employment checks.
