About this Position

Are you an expert scientist who understands that language is the key to unlocking the lab?


We are seeking a dedicated Science Teacher for Oxford AQA A-Level Biology and Combined Science. Our student body is comprised of bright, ambitious emerging learners who are navigating their education in English as a Second Language. We need a motivator who can bridge the gap between scientific complexity and linguistic confidence and provide the extra motivation and encouragement they need to soar. This role is designed for a high-performing educator who is either currently in Middle Leadership or an ambitious practitioner who sees Head of Science as their next career stepping stone.


Job Description

The Role: Architect of Understanding


The Science Specialist:

You will deliver the Oxford AQA curriculum with a focus on scaffolding language, ensuring that EAL learners can master technical terminology and excel in their examinations.


The Motivational Force:

You recognise that our students need extra encouragement. You will turn the learning experience into something "amazing" by making science accessible, visual, and highly engaging.


The Mentor & Challenger:

We value an educator who respects student opinions and builds their self-esteem, while simultaneously challenging them to reach the high academic standards of A Level Biology.



Job Requirements

What You Will Bring


Subject Mastery: Deep knowledge of Biology and the ability to break down the Oxford AQA specification for second-language learners.


EAL Sensitivity: Experience (or a natural aptitude) for teaching students who are developing their English proficiency alongside their scientific skills.


Empathetic Leadership: A belief that every student can attain their full potential when provided with the right mix of academic rigor and emotional support.
