Discover Science at Rossett School HERE

What if every lesson you taught could spark a lifelong fascination with the world?

At Rossett, Science is electric, alive with curiosity, discovery and moments of true wonder. We are looking for a Teacher of Science who can captivate, challenge and inspire, someone who can turn questions into investigations and ideas into understanding.

From creating awe at Key Stage 3, where students begin to uncover the patterns and possibilities of the universe, to developing confident, scientifically literate thinkers at Key Stage 4, you will be at the heart of a journey that shapes how young people engage with the world.

This is your opportunity to bring biology, chemistry and physics to life, revealing their connections, unlocking big ideas and showing students not just what we know but how we discover it.

At Rossett, we do not just teach science, we ignite it.

About our School

These values nurture kindness, respect, and positive relationships, inspiring each of us to grow into the best version of ourselves. We are proud that Ofsted recognised our school’s ethos, stating that 'a culture of kindness and respect is the hallmark of everyday routines.'

Our behaviour approach is built on clear, consistent expectations that help students focus and thrive, supported by compassionate pastoral care that ensures everyone gets the right support at the right time. 

We are proud to be part of Red Kite Learning Trust, enabling us to draw on all the support and expertise this offers. A partnership that opens doors to new opportunities, inspiring growth, development, and limitless potential for both our students and colleagues alike. 

Here’s what you can expect when you join us:
