What skills and experience we're looking for
As a now oversubscribed Catholic secondary school, St Joseph’s Catholic Academy is keen to appoint an aspiring middle leader as our new Lead Practitioner for Science to join our thriving Science Department. This is an additional role to our Science team, to support in implementing the departmental and school development plans.

Demonstrable experience of delivering impactful interventions and supporting wider school departments to proactively engage with these initiatives is key to this role, including delivering CPD to staff and managing workload and wellbeing of others.
We are welcoming applications from scientists of any discipline.
