Full job description Cover Science Teacher (SEMH)
Chatham

Full-time temporary role
Are you a science lover who can ignite curiosity in even the most reluctant learners? Do you have a knack for turning "I don’t get it!" into "Ohhh, that makes sense!"? If so, we’ve got an exciting opportunity for you!
A vibrant and supportive SEMH (Social, Emotional & Mental Health) secondary school in Chatham is on the lookout for an enthusiastic Cover Science Teacher to join their team.
What you’ll be doing:
*Delivering engaging and creative science lessons that make students say, "Wow, science is cool!"
*Supporting young people with SEMH needs by building trust, boosting confidence, and celebrating every success — big or small.
*Being the calm, consistent, positive presence in the classroom.
*Working alongside a friendly staff team who share plenty of laughs (and probably biscuits).
What they’re looking for:
*Someone with a passion for science and the patience of a saint.
*Experience teaching or supporting students with SEMH needs — or a willingness to learn with an open mind.
*A resilient, flexible educator who doesn’t mind the occasional plot twist in their day.
*A team player who can bring positivity, good humour, and a supportive attitude.
What’s in it for you?
*A rewarding role where every day you make a difference.
*A supportive senior leadership team and a welcoming atmosphere.
*The chance to build strong relationships and genuinely impact young lives.
*Perfect for someone wanting to gain more SEMH experience or looking for a meaningful temp role.
