Teacher of Science

Start Date: September 2026

We are looking to recruit a Teacher of Science who shares our vision and ambitions for the young people of this community.

Tibshelf Community School is a thriving, over-subscribed 11–16 secondary school, located in a stunning £17 million purpose-built site opened in November 2013. Serving a wide rural catchment across nine villages in North East Derbyshire, the school is home to over 830 students, with numbers exceeding the official PAN of 150 in every year group.

The Science Faculty has an established track record at GCSE, and we now want to build on this solid foundation and move forward to provide even greater experiences for our pupils.

The post provides a great opportunity for a talented teacher of science to advance their own career and professional development by joining a successful, cohesive team in a forward-looking school, judged Good by OFSTED, at an exciting time in its development.

Applications are welcome from Early Career Teachers, as well as experienced teachers, who are able to teach science throughout the ability range at KS3 and KS4.

If you are interested in applying for the post, you are strongly encouraged to come to Tibshelf Community School to have a look around and informally meet staff and pupils. Please contact Mrs Tracey Johnston-Shaw (recruitment@tibshelf.derbyshire.sch.uk) to arrange a visit.

We hope that what we are aspiring to do here will enthuse and excite you too.

We look forward to meeting you.
