The Governors of St Hilda’s wish to appoint a qualified and knowledgeable part time Teacher of Science (0.6) for a maternity cover . The successful candidate would become part of an enthusiastic and hard-working team.
St Hilda’s, which is situated on the edge of Sefton Park in South Liverpool, is a welcoming and supportive community. We have high expectations of behaviour and there are excellent relationships between staff and students, based on mutual respect. St Hilda’s is a high-performing, over-subscribed comprehensive school with a Sixth Form. In 2021, Ofsted judged the school to be Good and in 2025, our SIAMS inspection found that St Hilda’s Church of England High School is living up to its foundation as a Church school and is enabling pupils and adults to flourish.
The report highlighted "St Hilda’s biblically rooted Christian vision is the cornerstone and lifeblood of this school family. It is strongly proclaimed and confidently embraced, sustaining and nourishing the school’s work and mission. Along with its compelling Christian values, the vision drives this exceptional school. Diversity and difference are embraced, giving dignity and allowing this community to live well together. Pupils are highly respectful and supportive, enabling them to appreciate and support one another to be who they are." We are unashamedly a Christian school."
Science teachers in this department will get opportunities to teach across the age and ability range of students at this school. We want to ensure that teachers feel confident to teach to KS5 (where we offer the BTEC Applied Science as well as A-Levels in Biology, Chemistry and Physics) and we will put on internal and external CPD to help with subject knowledge and pedagogy if required.

• To be responsible for the day-to-day work and management of classes and the safety and welfare of the pupils, during on-site and off-site activities.
• To promote the aims and objectives of the school and maintain its philosophy of education and ethos as a Christian school.
