Science Teacher

Job Title: Science Teacher
Location: Darlington
Start Date: ASAP

The Role

We are currently partnering with a secondary school in the Darlington area that is looking for a Science Teacher who can hit the ground running and make a positive impact from day one.

This is a well-structured classroom environment where student behaviour is effectively managed, allowing you to focus on delivering engaging and high-quality lessons rather than constant classroom control.

Key Responsibilities

Why This School Stands Out

• Supportive leadership team that values and trusts its staff
• Motivated and engaged students who are eager to learn
• Structured schemes of work to help reduce planning workload
• A collaborative team culture where staff support one another

Whether you’re an Early Career Teacher looking for the right start or an experienced teacher seeking improved work-life balance, this role provides a supportive and rewarding environment.

What We’re Looking For

• UK Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or equivalent
• Strong classroom presence and effective behaviour management skills

• Ability to build rapport quickly and deliver engaging lessons

What You’ll Receive

• Weekly PAYE pay—no umbrella companies or hidden deductions
