Summary

What skills and experience we're looking for

Thank you for your interest in the post of Teacher of Science at Bishop Luffa School.

Required from September 2026 we are seeking to appoint a dynamic and forward-thinking Teacher of Science, with the ability to teach chemistry to at least GCSE level, however, strong applications from candidates with any science specialism are encouraged. This role would suit an experienced teacher or equally, a strong ECT.

The successful applicant will be passionate about science and truly believe that it is the most important subject on the curriculum. The successful candidate will love the challenge of working with teenagers and committed to supporting them to be creative, reflective and resilient learners, and to make each child they teach into a scientist. They will share our aspiration to help realise the school's vision 'Always our best because everyone matters'.

All of our teachers are also tutors. We have a strong House system and we will be looking to recruit someone who will be an asset to the House that they join.

What the school offers its staff

Bishop Luffa School is a very special place to work. Our students are proud of their school and take part in an incredible number of extra-curricular activities, such as House Drama, the Sixth Form Fashion Show and Charity Week. We would like to hear from people who share our vision that we are here to show students ‘life in all its fullness’ and who firmly believe that learning extends beyond the classroom.

Bishop Luffa School is a fully comprehensive 11-18 Church School, which has been judged as Outstanding in all areas by Ofsted. I hope that we live our Christian values of love and respect, which all of our staff and students support, regardless of their beliefs.

Bishop Luffa School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. This post is subject to a DBS check.

If you are able to inspire and motive students in order to help them achieve their full potential, we would welcome your application.
