TLR available for suitably qualified candidate

John Henry Newman Catholic College - An outstanding place to work.

John Henry Newman laid down a compelling vision for Catholic education where each child is created for a 'definite service' and a 'mission not committed to another'. John Henry Newman Catholic College embraces this vision and unashamedly sets the highest expectations for all. Through high quality teaching and learning and exceptional wide ranging enrichment opportunities, the College seeks to cultivate students' motivation, confidence, intelligence and ability. The College's mission is to nurture a determination in each student to never accept second best in their life and a true sense of God's love and self-worth which will enable them to stand up for themselves and for a purpose greater than themselves.

John Henry Newman Catholic College strives to be at the forefront of school improvement and innovation and invests heavily in the creation of a learning community where we all have the responsibility to learn from others and to contribute to the professional development of our colleagues. It is through this collaborative culture that together we can break down barriers to learning and support our students to gain the competitive edge over other applicants to leading universities, prestigious apprenticeships and the subsequent world of work.

We are looking for a well qualified, dynamic and inspirational teacher with a real enthusiasm for science that can encourage our students to further develop their own passion for the science disciplines. The successful candidate will join a thriving and ambitious team and bring with them innovative and creative ideas for delivering outstanding lessons. We can also offer you the opportunity to teach your specialism at 'A' level.

The College Governors are proud of what John Henry Newman Catholic College has achieved to date and we are keen to appoint someone who wholeheartedly shares their ambition and commitment to the mission of the College.
