The successful teacher should be comfortable delivering and managing both in-person and online group lessons using Academy-approved systems and platforms.

Responsibilities include:

• Teaching GCSE Science to students in group classes

• Teaching Biology, Chemistry and Physics according to subject knowledge and experience
• Delivering structured lessons mainly at the Academy centre
• Delivering online group classes when scheduled or required

• Maintaining good classroom behaviour and a positive learning environment
• Communicating appropriately with parents and the Academy team

We Are Looking For

The successful applicant should have:

A teaching qualification such as QTS or PGCE is desirable, although experienced GCSE tutors, science graduates and other suitably qualified applicants with strong teaching experience will also be considered.

Experience of working within a community, charitable or faith-based educational environment would be welcome but is not essential.
