Teacher of Science

Teacher of Science, Sheffield

Newfield School, in partnership with King Ecgbert School

Teacher of Science - Main Scale (depending on skills and experience this post may attract a TLR and to secure the best appointment a Recruitment & Retention allowance may also be available)

We are seeking to appoint a high quality and dynamic science teacher who can challenge and excite our students and has the ability to consistently deliver inspirational and varied lessons to students of all abilities. Imaginative and committed, you will have high standards of professionalism and high expectations of students across KS3 and KS4.

The successful candidate would be required from September 2014. This vacancy has arisen because the current post holder is leaving for another job.

This is a tremendous time to join Newfield. We are in the process of becoming an Academy, joining King Ecgbert School, a neighboring Ofsted 'Outstanding' school, in the Mercia Learning Trust, and it is envisaged that as the Trust develops, there will be opportunities for staff to work across both schools. There is more information about the partnership with King Ecgbert School in the 'Background and General Information for Applicants' document.

Please apply to the school using the Sheffield application form which is available from the school website, by emailing enquiries@newfield.sheffield.sch.uk , or by visiting Sheffield City Council's job vacancy website at www.sheffield.gov.uk .
