As a full-time science specialist, you will take full responsibility for designing and delivering a vibrant, inquiry-based primary science curriculum, inspiring curiosity, and equipping children with the critical thinking skills to explore the world around them.

Your Responsibilities

• Inspirational Science Delivery: Plan, prepare, and teach engaging, practical science lessons across Key Stages 1 and 2, ensuring alignment with the National Curriculum frameworks for Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.

• Whole-School STEM Advocacy: Lead internal science initiatives, coordinate British Science Week activities, manage the school's science resources, and utilise outdoor learning spaces or school gardens.

• Primary STEM Expertise: A deep, up-to-date knowledge of the primary science curriculum, working scientific objectives, and safe laboratory/classroom experiment protocols.
• Engaging Classroom Management: The ability to maintain a highly organised, safe, and positive learning environment where practical work can be conducted efficiently.
• Commitment to the Full Academic Year: The professional reliability to take on a full-time, full-responsibility classroom role starting in September 2026.
• Compliance: An enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service (or a willingness to process a new one via Randstad).
