Physics Teacher - Secondary School

Job Title: Physics Teacher – Secondary School
Location: Birmingham
Start Date: ASAP
Contract: Full-time, Long-term
Salary: Competitive, dependent on experience

Big ideas, real-world science, and a classroom that actually lets you teach. Sound like your kind of role?

We’re working with a welcoming, mainstream secondary school in Birmingham that’s looking for a Physics Teacher to join them ASAP. This is a full-time, long-term opportunity where you can settle in, build momentum, and make a real impact.

If you enjoy breaking down the “why” behind how things work, and seeing that moment when it finally clicks, you’ll fit right in.

What’s the school like?

Think structure, support, and a team that’s got your back.

• Supportive SLT who value consistency and staff wellbeing
• A collaborative Science department that shares ideas and resources
• Clear behaviour policies that are actually followed
• Students who respond well to engaging, confident teaching

It’s a place where you can focus on teaching Physics, not chasing behaviour.

What you’ll be doing:

• Teaching Physics across KS3 and KS4 (KS5 available if that’s your thing)
• Delivering engaging lessons that make complex concepts feel accessible
• Bringing topics like energy, forces, and space to life
• Creating a positive, structured classroom environment
• Marking and assessment in line with school expectations

What we’re looking for:

• UK QTS or equivalent
• Experience teaching Physics in a secondary setting
• Strong classroom presence and behaviour management
• Someone who can hit the ground running and build rapport quickly
• A teacher who can make even the trickiest topics feel manageable (and maybe even enjoyable)

Why this role stands out:

This isn’t a “just get through the term” kind of job. It’s a proper long-term opportunity in a school that’s organised, supportive, and ready for someone to come in and make a difference.

Great for experienced teachers wanting stability, or ECTs looking for a school where they’ll be supported every step of the way.
