The Science Department at St Mary’s is a hardworking, collaborative and supportive team.

This role would suit an enthusiastic graduate or experienced teacher with strong organisational skills, good humour and the stamina to thrive in a busy school environment. The post holder will be supported in their professional development and encouraged to contribute ideas that help move the department forward.
