The successful candidate must have:

• A passion for the subject and a thorough knowledge of the Science curriculum
• The ability to inspire pupils to strive for excellence in science
• A commitment, drive and enthusiasm to work as part of our dedicated and successful team
• Measurable impact as an individual teacher
