Cover Science Teacher (SEMH)

Chatham Start: After Easter — July 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 after Easter and stay with them through to July.

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.
