Teacher of Science

Main Pay Scale

Required for a January 2025 start

Golborne is a flourishing 11-16 secondary school that is proud to provide an exceptional education for the children of Golborne and Lowton. We are one of a very small number of state, comprehensive secondary schools in the North West to be awarded an Ofsted judgement of Outstanding (January 2023), and we are exceptionally proud of what this means for the pupils who attend our school and the staff who work here. As well as excellent GCSE results, that are well above the national average, pupils at Golborne receive a well-rounded curriculum and a wide range of opportunities for personal development beyond the classroom.

Under the leadership of a new headteacher since January 2024, Golborne is excited to continue our journey to delivering a world-class education for our students and to become a beacon of excellence at the heart of the community. We believe that our staff are our greatest asset and we invest in them by putting their wellbeing and development at the centre of all we do. We operate a flexible working policy that allows staff to work from home when appropriate and we have a wellbeing policy that rewards and motivates staff. We are the lead school for Generate Teaching Hub and work together with our partners to deliver school to school support, CPD and early career framework structures. We deliver an exceptional in-house induction programme and bespoke CPD pathways for staff at all stages of their career.

We are looking for an enthusiastic teacher of Science to join our school. The position will be mainscale, teaching across the age range, and would suit someone new to the profession or someone with classroom experience.

Golborne High School is committed to the wellbeing of its staff and students. Applicants who are interested in part-time or flexible working arrangements should outline this in their application with a view to discussing their preferences or requirements with the Headteacher or governors if they are shortlisted to interview.

An application form and further details of the post are available from the school website www.golbornehigh.wigan.sch.uk

Closing date: Monday 28th October 2024 at 8am

Interview date: To be confirmed

Applications received ahead of this deadline may be invited to interview before the closing date.

Golborne High School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff to share this commitment. The post is covered by the Protection of Children Act and is therefore subject to enhanced DBS clearance.

It should be noted that it is a requirement of the Governors of Golborne High School that candidates should, whenever possible, name as referees current and former employers (via Heads or Principals where employment at educational institutions is concerned).

Shortlisted candidates will be subject to an online search. This is not part of the shortlisting process itself and the candidate will have the opportunity to address any issues of concern that come up during this search at interview.

We look forward to receiving your application should you be interested. If you have not heard from us by the interview date, you may assume that your application has been unsuccessful on this occasion. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer feedback on individual applications that are not shortlisted for interview.
