It is an exciting time in the Science department at Becket Keys Church of England School. Following our recent and successful Ofsted we are looking to appoint a new 2iC. This is an important role in the department that will see the successful candidate working alongside our experienced head of department and taking a lead on STEM initiatives across the school.
This role would suit teachers of either Chemistry, Physics or Biology. Some candidates may already have some responsibilities in a Science Department but are looking for a next step which more fully recognises what they have to offer. Others may be looking for their first responsibility in Science and are keen to learn to make that contribution in a highly supportive and stable department.
If you get along well with other people, want to be in a friendly environment with plenty of cakes and coffee, and if you enjoy working with highly motivated students, then we want to hear from you!
Science is particularly strong department in our school and consistently delivers very high standards in terms of progress and attainment. Students thoroughly enjoy their Science lessons at this school with very good numbers continuing to A Level. Students are taught a highly practical hands-on curriculum to ensure students develop lab skills alongside superb curriculum knowledge. We are supported by the Russell Education Trust and the successful candidate will have regular support, assistance, and guidance from our excellent senior science adviser on a weekly basis.
We have a lot of information about the school on the website, but we are also keen to welcome applicants to come for a tour and a face-to-face meeting with the head of department.
If you would like a conversation about the school or the position, please email us at vacancies@becketkeys.org.
