Teacher of Science (Maternity Cover)

At Oasis Academy Leesbrook, we’re building a community where creativity and curiosity thrive. Science is the engine that powers innovation—it’s hands-on, minds-on, and full of opportunities to make sense of the world. We’re searching for a Teacher of Science who can turn classrooms into laboratories of ideas and inspire the next generation of inventors, problem-solvers, and changemakers.

Teaching science is part engineering, part artistry, and part detective work. You’ll design experiments, troubleshoot theories, and cheer on those “aha!” moments. If you’re ready to ignite a passion for discovery and help students build the future, we’d love to hear from you.
