Job Description
We’re seeking a dynamic Science Teacher to join a forward-thinking secondary school in Coventry that values innovation as much as instruction. The school is renowned for blending practical science with cross-curricular projects — from sustainability labs to STEM-focused community challenges. You’ll teach across Key Stages 3 and 4, designing lessons that spark discovery and inspire progress. As part of a collaborative department, you’ll share best practice, trial new ideas, and make real contributions to curriculum development. This is an opportunity for a teacher who thrives on engaging young minds, values professional growth, and wants to work in a school where science feels exciting again. Whether you’re an experienced educator or an ECT ready to make your mark, you’ll find structure, support, and the freedom to innovate.
Job Responsibilities:
Plan and deliver engaging lessons aligned with the National Curriculum for Science
Promote enquiry-based learning and practical investigation
Track and assess pupil progress to support achievement and personal growth
Contribute to extracurricular STEM initiatives and school-wide events
Desired Experience
+ Qualifications
QTS or QTLS with specialism in Science
Strong subject knowledge and creative lesson delivery
A reflective practitioner committed to continual improvement

But, I don’t want to register with a supply agency, why should I sign up with Milestone?
We get it. Supply agencies can’t always deliver exactly what you’re looking for, but that’s where we’re different…
We’re an education platform service who partner with schools and MATs to support their recruitment, training and wellbeing needs. It’s in our interest to secure you a role you’ll love, in a setting you’ll want to stay in, with a view to progressing your career. If that’s what you want!

To put so much hard work and valuable time into completing these checks and then NOT deliver the opportunities you are looking for…? Well, we’d go out of business pretty quickly!
How much does it cost and how much will I be paid?
Our services to you are completely free.
Costs will only incur if you require a new DBS or OSPC, but don't worry - we can still put you forward for interviews while the applications in process, so you won't miss out on all the exciting opportunities!
All roles are paid in line with Teachers Pay and Conditions, or are matched with each school’s salary guidelines for the role you undertake. We'll always negotiate the best possible pay rates that reflect your hard work, experience and qualifications.
