St Augustine’s Catholic College seeks to appoint an experienced, engaging and enthusiastic teacher of science from Easter 2025.

We welcome all specialisms but applicants must be able to teach all three sciences at GCSE and KS3.

We are also seeking a Head of Department to cover a maternity leave from approximately Easter 2025 to the end of the academic year. If you wish to be considered for this temporary role alongside your application for the teaching role please make this clear in your covering statement. Please refer to the separate Job Description for the Head of Science role.

The exam board we use is AQA for all A levels, and we offer triple science as an option at GCSE, otherwise all other students follow the trilogy AQA combined science route.

As a school we have a strong reputation for excellent results with A level science courses being ever popular choices, many of our students go on to secure places at top universities to study engineering, medicine, and other STEM subjects.

The school’s moto is ‘Together we’re Stronger’ and that is how we seek to work as a science department - you will find welcoming and supportive colleagues who are always seeking to innovate and improve the science education of our students. The school has a strong, non-judgemental, coaching ethos which constantly helps to develop the practice of all teachers whatever their level of experience. All labs are equipped with dedicated practical areas, Clevertouch screens and access to computer systems. We have recently made an investment into updating our scientific data handling and recording software with new Bluetooth censors which allow the projecting of real time results onto the board for demonstrations with younger years and use by our A Level students.
