Teacher of Science

Are you a dedicated and highly effective educator committed to raising the achievement of all students within your subject area? Join us as a Teacher, where you will be instrumental in delivering high-quality learning, utilising a range of teaching and learning strategies to ensure student success. This position requires a professional who is aware of strategies for improving learning, understands curriculum developments, and is creative in finding solutions to enhance student performance.

The science department at Outwood Academy Portland is one of the highest performing schools in the trust for Science. At KS3 we have a curriculum that is sequenced in order to build on substantive knowledge, whilst developing disciplinary knowledge through the use of models, hooks and application in practical based science. At KS4 we ensure students build on their ability to retrieve knowledge, which we then build on with a lot of application-based work. There are also opportunities to teach at the Post-16 centre to deliver A-levels in the sciences if you so wish. Due to a recent promotion within the Science team, we are seeking to appoint an enthusiastic Teacher of Science. You will have good subject knowledge, a passion for Science, and want students to love Science as much as we do. We pride ourselves on our supportive nature. We are a team full of passionate individuals with a love for science and learning. Practical science is at the heart of what we do. We believe that through outstanding teaching, students will leave with a better understanding of the world around them and therefore be able to make informed decisions about their life. Our team works together collaboratively, from teaching staff to support staff, to ensure that students are always put first. We have 10 laboratories, soon to be 12, which are well equipped with interactive whiteboards and fume cupboards, ensuring that all potential practical and teaching activities are covered. Prospective applicants are welcome to contact us if they have any questions or would like to arrange a tour of the academy. Come and see what we are all about! Please contact Josh Winter, Head of Science on j.winter@portland.outwood.com should you wish to visit the school and have a tour of the department to see what we have to offer.
