Science Teacher (Chemistry & Physics)
£180 - £260 per day
Cambridge
Are you an A-Level expert looking for a unique, high-impact teaching role?
We are seeking a specialist Science Teacher to support two high-ability learners in a dedicated independent specialist setting. This is a rare opportunity to move away from large-classroom management and focus on high-level academic delivery for students with Autism and SEMH needs. You will have the creative freedom to select the exam board you feel best suits these learners, supported by fully functioning labs and a dedicated science technician.
Your Responsibilities
- Dual-Specialism Delivery: Plan, deliver, and mark the full course content for both A-Level Chemistry and A-Level Physics.
- Curriculum Ownership: Select and implement the exam board/specification you deem most appropriate for these specific higher-ability learners.
- SEN Mentorship: Tailor your delivery to meet the needs of students with Autism and/or SEMH, ensuring academic rigor is balanced with a supportive, low-arousal approach.
- Collaborative Support: Lead sessions alongside a dedicated Teaching Assistant (TA) and work with the lab technician to resource practical experiments.
- Monitoring & Assessment: Provide detailed feedback and tracking to support Year 12/13 reviews with Local Authorities.
What You'll Bring to the Team
- Subject Expertise: Prior experience delivering A-Level Science (Chemistry and Physics) is essential.
- SEN Experience: A background in supporting learners with Autism and/or SEMH needs, ideally within a specialist setting.
- Teaching Status:QTS is strongly preferred, though we can consider highly experienced A-Level specialists from independent or HE backgrounds.
- Small Group Mastery: The ability to build deep academic rapport in 1:2 or small-group environments.
- Compliance: An enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service (or a willingness to process a new one via Randstad).
Why Partner with Randstad?
- PAYE Rates: £180 - £260 per day
- Fixed-Term Stability: A one-year booking starting September 2024, with a high likelihood of extending into a second year.
- Specialist Environment: Work in an independent setting with excellent facilities and a focus on student-centered success.
- Personalised Advocacy: Work with Neeraj, your dedicated consultant, who will manage the trial shift and onboarding process.
- Referral Bonus: Earn a £300 voucher for every specialist teacher you refer to us!
