Job description

We are looking to recruit a Teacher of Science to start in August 2024.

Since the introduction of a new Principal and leadership team in 2017, Redmoor has experienced sustained and continuous improvement to ensure our students make better progress than similar students nationally. This was recognized in our most recent Ofsted inspection in September 2021 where we were judged securely “good” in all areas, demonstrated by 6 years of positive Progress 8 and fantastic GCSE outcomes for students, evidenced in the social development of our students as they become valuable members of the community and affirmed by the significant over subscription for places in Year 7 we experience every year.

Our Science team consists of eight experienced teachers and a science technician committed to ensuring consistently high standards of teaching and learning across the department, and to their own continuous professional development. We are proud of our collaboratively developed, broad and challenging curriculum at Key Stage 3, one that gives students the opportunity to awe at the wonders of science and articulate scientific principles with confidence. Students engage with the three scientific disciplines (Biology, Chemistry and Physics) which are taught in subject specialisms, using the AQA specifications. Our students achieve excellent outcomes at both GCSE Combined Trilogy and separate science qualifications (Triple Science). Science is enjoyed by students at Redmoor with many selecting Triple Science as an option subject. We are now seeking to appoint a dynamic practitioner who will contribute to the further development of Science and help drive forward our agenda of continuous improvement at Key Stage 3 and 4.

At Redmoor we invest in the continued professional development of all of our colleagues. Our CPD programme focuses on whole school priorities and the continuous development of pedagogy based on research, best practice and our excellent links with other schools. In addition, we offer individualised CPD pathways which support staff at all stages of their career progression including coaching, in-house training and National Professional Qualifications for middle and senior leaders. 

Our staffing profile is very stable and our staff are excited and proud to work here. We are not complacent and continually strive to improve and achieve further successes. The future is exciting and we are totally committed to raising aspirations and achieving fantastic outcomes for all students. You could be a part of our future.

Staff well-being is very important to us and we are genuinely a happy place to work. All Redmoor staff have access to a range of benefits, recently enhanced to include a healthcare package (upon successfully completing a 6 month probationary period) that provides refunds on everyday medical expenses (opticians and dental care included) and also access to experts and scans as required. Our other benefits include complimentary hot drinks, access to well-being and counseling services and professional development courses linked to your role.

We have a clear understanding of what we are looking for in the staff we appoint. If you have a desire to work hard transforming lives, are a team player and want to be part of a dynamic team, you could be a Redmoor person. If you would like an informal chat or a tour of our school please please get in touch with us.
