Jobs

Love teaching Science but fed up of feeling unsupported?

Looking for a school where behaviour is actually good, the department pulls together, and you can enjoy being in the classroom again?

At Smile Education, we’re working with a secondary school in Melton Mowbray that’s looking for a Science Teacher to join them from August 2026, and honestly, this is the sort of school teachers don’t usually rush to leave.

The leadership team are supportive without micromanaging, behaviour across the school is strong, and the Science department has a really good atmosphere. Staff work together, share resources, and actually help each other out. It’s the kind of environment where you can focus on teaching engaging lessons instead of constantly firefighting behaviour issues.

The school is open to teachers from all Science specialisms, whether your background is Biology, Chemistry, or Physics.

Whether you’re an experienced teacher wanting a fresh start or an ECT looking for a school that will properly support you, this could be a brilliant fit.

The Role:

• Full-time Science Teacher position starting August 2026, with flexibility to consider 4 days or job share for the right candidate
• Teaching Science across KS3 and KS4
• Opportunity to teach KS5 depending on experience and specialism
• Full teaching responsibilities including planning, marking, and assessment
• Long-term role with potential to become permanent

Why Teachers Like Working Here:

• Strong behaviour systems already in place
• Supportive SLT who are visible around school
• Modern Science facilities and well-resourced classrooms
• Friendly department with shared planning and resources
• Staff wellbeing is taken seriously
• Students who are engaged and want to learn
• Easily accessible Melton Mowbray location with onsite parking available

The School Is Looking For Someone Who:

• Holds QTS
• Can deliver engaging and practical Science lessons
• Builds positive relationships with students
• Has strong classroom management
• Wants to be part of a supportive team rather than just another member of staff
• Brings good energy and enthusiasm into the classroom

What Smile Education Offers:

• Competitive rates of pay between £180–£220 per day
• PAYE and Umbrella payment options
• Holiday pay at 12.07%
• Free CPD and training opportunities
