A supportive and well-regarded Good-rated secondary school in Southend-on-Sea is seeking a committed and thoughtful Science Teacher to join their department for an immediate start. This is a full-time, permanent position within a Science Faculty that is stable, collaborative, and genuinely student-focused.

About the Role

You will teach Science across KS3–KS4, following carefully sequenced curriculum pathways that prioritise conceptual clarity, hands-on experimentation, and confident scientific explanation. There is strong technician provision in the department, meaning practical lessons are realistic and achievable rather than overwhelming.

The department works collectively, sharing:

• Lesson resources

• Assessment models

• Strategies for scaffolding and stretch

• Approaches for supporting students with exam confidence

This is not a department where teachers work in isolation — the team meets weekly, reflects openly, and values professional trust.

School Culture

The school is known for:

• Calm, respectful student behaviour

• Consistent routines and strong pastoral support

• Leadership that listens and acts, rather than dictates

• A friendly staff community and positive morale

Teachers here describe the environment as steady, fair, and humane.

Ideal Candidate

• QTS (ECTs and experienced teachers welcome)

• Warm, calm classroom communicator

• Someone who values shared planning and reflection

Salary

MPS / UPS, dependent on experience.
