Science Teacher

Tradewind Recruitment are recruiting for a full time Science Teacher based in Hull, starting 2nd September 2025, and lasting initially until October half term 2025. This is a temporary position to cover a planned absence. There is potential that this booking could continue onwards after October half term until Easter 2026, but on a part time (3 days per week basis). Payment for this position will be in line with the main teaching pay scale, between £31,650 and £49084 (this may change if pay scales increase in the new academic year).

This role will involve teaching Science to Key Stage 3 and 4 students, and will involve all the planning and marking associated with a teaching role. Currently, there is no science specialism that is required as there is time to move things around with existing staff members to accommodate any science specialist. You will be provided with a thorough scheme of work and resources available, so the level of planning required should be minimal. Ideally, a practitioner that feels comfortable performing practical lessons with the students is ideal for this role. With the role initially just being for one half term, ECTs are encouraged to apply but cannot be put through the ECT for just the half term. If the role extends beyond this time until Easter (on a part time basis) as is possible, then there may be the potential to complete a term of the ECT. This is a highly established science department with a wealth of experience and teaching expertise, who value sharing good practice.

Located in Hull, this school is easily accessed via car or via public transport. There is a large onsite car park for candidates who do drive. This school has an excellent reputation in the local area, and is part of a small, local, academy trust. Success in this role can open up roles within other local secondary and primary schools within the local area. You will be entering a school that has high expectations and fosters a nurturing and encouraging atmosphere while being uncompromising on strong student behaviour. This has led over the years to students who are engaged and look forward to their learning.

Tradewind will also support your development during your placement and beyond through our fantastic CPD via The National College. Signing up for this role means you can be offered other shifts and roles through Tradewind Recruitment. You will be joining an agency with a large number of schools in the local area who work extremely closely, and as such (after this placement) there will be lots of opportunities for work in a variety of different schools. This particular school treats it's temporary staff extremely well and treats them as part of the team.
