A well-established Good-rated secondary school in Cambridge is seeking a motivated and enthusiastic Science ECT to join their thriving Science department for an immediate start. This is an exceptional opportunity for a trainee teacher who is seeking a school that genuinely understands how to nurture an Early Career Teacher, offering the structured mentoring, time, and support needed to build confidence, refine pedagogy, and establish a strong foundation for a long-term teaching career.

The school prides itself on its calm routines, well-organised systems, and a culture that centres on professionalism, kindness, and academic ambition. As an ECT, you will teach Science to KS3 and KS4 using well-developed schemes of work that clearly map out the teaching journey, allowing you to focus on delivery, behaviour management, and building strong relationships with your students. The Head of Science is known for being exceptionally supportive and creates an environment where ECTs feel valued, listened to, and guided step by step at a pace that respects your growth.

You will benefit from:

• Protected ECT timetable with reduced teaching load

• Regular mentor meetings and structured developmental feedback

• Opportunities to observe expert practitioners

• Tailored CPD focused on pedagogy, subject knowledge, and classroom culture

• Access to high-quality practical resources and full technician support

The school itself is well-resourced, offering modern science labs, digital learning tools, and a strong pastoral network that ensures students are supported holistically. Students are curious and motivated when lessons are delivered with clarity, enthusiasm, and consistency — and the behaviour system ensures that teachers feel empowered, not overwhelmed.
