TEACHER OF SCIENCE– ECT/MPS/ UPS

To start January 2025 or sooner

Holy Trinity is a 3 – 16 Catholic and Church of England through-school; the only one of its kind in the country! We have a 420-place primary phase and a 700-place secondary phase which is due to expand to accommodate an extra 30 pupils in Y7 this September. Our 3 – 16 through-school status offers exciting and innovative learning opportunities which enhance progress and create a seamless transition between Key Stages 2 & 3. Our Catholic and Church of England values form our distinctive Christian ethos, and this guides and supports everything we do in school.

We are seeking an enthusiastic Teacher of Science. You may be an ECT or an experienced subject specialist. You will be unrelenting in your desire to inspire pupils and support them to become confident learners and you will be passionate about teaching and learning. You will be committed to challenging our pupils to do their best and be aspirational for themselves. If Holy Trinity could be a fit for you, you will be joining a supportive, forward-thinking Science department who are committed to continuous professional development and to securing high levels of progress for our pupils. You will be teaching across Key Stages 3 and 4 with the possibility of teaching some KS2. Currently, the department offers AQA Combined and Triple Science at G.C.S.E.

We welcome applications from candidates who are ready to work as part of a forward-thinking team with student learning at its centre and team players who are ready to contribute to the development of the excellent teaching and learning that we aim to deliver on a daily basis.

At Holy Trinity, the leadership team, staff and governors are completely focused on nurturing each individual in order that they reach their full potential. We are determined to raise standards for our pupils and to develop independent, aspiring and caring young people.

You will be joining the school at a time of innovation, development and rapid improvement, building on our strong foundation of care, commitment and challenge; in-house training opportunities provide quality CPD aimed at ensuring the very best practice for teaching and learning in-line with our Holy Trinity Standard and school development plans. Staff are also encouraged to identify their own training needs and develop as reflective practitioners; they are valued and supported to grow as professionals. Our students are challenged to be aspirational for themselves and are nurtured to develop a growth mindset. Strong relationships underpin our cohesive and forward-looking community. Staff and pupils are proud to be part of our school. Our recent Ofsted report acknowledges that we are an “inclusive and welcoming school”.

• Are you interested in working in an innovative and forward-thinking environment with professionals who are keen to move our school forward?
• Are you passionate about supporting the development of young people and good at building positive relationships?
• Are you a child-centred person who wants to harness the enthusiasm of young people and develop well-planned lessons to enable them to achieve their best?

If so, we want to hear from you. 

In turn, we can offer:

• A supportive and caring school community where SLT are committed to ensuring staff wellbeing is protected and workload is sensible
• An experienced Science department who are committed to continuous professional development and to supporting our pupils to make the best possible progress
• A bespoke, in-house CPD programme which allows staff to be reflective about their own practice and take ownership of their own development as well as the opportunity to work towards NPQs
• A purpose-built state of the art school building, ample parking, access to our school gym in the evenings and your own dedicated classroom

You are warmly welcomed to visit the school.

An enhanced DBS check is required for this post. The successful candidate will be required to complete a Disclosure & Barring Services form in line with Section 115 of The Police Act 1997.
