Teacher of Science - Thomas Hardye School

We require a qualified teacher of Science from January 2027. The ability to teach Biology at both KS4 and KS5 is highly desirable, however we would consider applications from all specialisms. We welcome applications from both experienced teachers and those completing their ECT years.

The Science Department has a dedicated block within the school offering well-resourced accommodation across 16 labs. The department is a vibrant and dynamic team providing all learners with an exciting range of experiences. Physics, Biology and Chemistry are all popular courses in the sixth form, and we also offer A-level Environmental Science. There is also a strong tradition of extra-curricular activities and trips in the department, with Lead teachers for both STEM and Science enrichment.

We offer excellent working conditions, a supportive environment and plenty of opportunity for further development at one of the most successful comprehensive schools in the country. The superb facilities include an on-site nursery and a sports complex with subsidised membership for staff.
