We are looking for a science teacher to join our school. This post is suitable for ECT or more experienced teachers.  

As a passionate science teacher, you will have the energy and commitment to help drive the students’ learning.  Central to the success of our school is a team that works hard for the students and each other. In return, we will support you to ensure you achieve your ambitions. We take a sensible approach to workload, and our staff are well motivated and enjoy coming to work.  

As our name implies, the school lies at the heart of its community.  As a result of high expectations, enthusiastic teaching and very positive relationships, students enjoy school and want to do well.  Belmont has a track record of excellent academic results, outstanding student welfare and great staff well-being.  

Belmont Community School has fantastic facilities within our newly built school and offers an excellent induction programme and an exciting learning and teaching environment. Quite simply, Belmont is a great place to work!  

If you are considering this opportunity, we strongly advise getting in touch for an informal chat with the Headteacher as we have very low staff turnover and jobs do not come up very often.  

The ability to converse at ease with customers and provide advice in accurate spoken English is essential for the post.
