Required from September 2022

St Cuthbert’s Catholic High School is seeking to appoint an outstanding physics teacher to lead our physics department. Our science department thrives on the notions of excellence, engagement and enthusiasm for the subject. We deliver a broad curriculum building science skills, knowledge and understanding through the excellent teaching. Throughout the school each discipline is taught as a separate subject. The science team is led by a head of science and each curriculum area has its own subject specialist lead. The successful candidate will receive support from a highly experienced subject leader, whilst having the autonomy to continue to develop and expand the physics department in the school.

The ideal candidate will be passionate about the physics curriculum and how this can be taught in an inspiring way to maximise outcomes, whilst both instilling and developing a love for the subject. We are looking for someone who can help create the next generation of physicists, someone who will inspire our pupils and spark their passion for the subject. Above all, we are looking for someone who will help our boys become better men and show them the difference that physics can make in the world. The ability to extend pupils’ engagement beyond the school day, through co-curricular activities would be an advantage.

This is an opportunity to join a well-established and aspirational department in an outstanding, all-boys Catholic School that has enjoyed a reputation as a centre of educational excellence for over one hundred years. We welcome applications from both experienced leaders and outstanding physics teachers ready for the challenges of a leadership post.
