Teacher of Science

Ossett Academy & Accord Sixth Form are seeking to appoint an inspiring and dedicated Teacher of Science. The successful applicant will be committed to ensuring that every pupil is challenged to achieve their maximum potential. You will have passion and enthusiasm, alongside the skills and desire to develop pupils in your classes and help them achieve excellent academic results. You will have a deep interest in the attainment of pupils at every ability level and show vigour and initiative.

We are looking for a professional who can teach one or more Science subject specialism, i.e., Biology, Chemistry or Physics. The ability or desire to teach at A Level would also be encouraged.

The Science department is supported by an excellent team of technicians with an abundance of resources and equipment to aid lessons and learning. We value challenge and active participation. The successful applicant will relentlessly pursue instilling an interest in their subject amongst all pupils; they will be innovative, with demonstrable resilience, vision, and energy.

Applications are welcomed from teachers across the experience range. We offer an extensive programme of academy and Trust professional development to ensure all colleagues continue to develop as practitioners and have opportunities to work collaboratively across subjects and across academies within our Trust.

Early Career Teachers (ECTs) will have an experienced subject mentor assigned from day one in post. Colleagues are supported through their early career years with regular check-ins from line managers and opportunities to meet with other ECTs across the Trust and colleagues from HR where any further support and guidance may be required. We are an inclusive academy and Trust and embrace opportunities to develop all colleagues on their journey to success.

If you have the vision and skills to deliver inspirational teaching whilst having the focus and drive to ensure successful outcomes are reached, we’d love to hear from you.

We are confident that new staff joining our Trust will feel welcomed and happy to have chosen us. Prospective applicants are welcome to visit the Academy prior to applying.
