Job Description

Are you an enthusiastic, Qualified Primary Teacher with a passion for STEM, hands-on experiments, and fostering scientific inquiry? Can you transform abstract concepts into awe-inspiring classroom discoveries that captivate young minds across Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2? If you are looking to secure a vital, full-time science specialist role for the upcoming academic year within a supportive Watford school, Randstad Education wants to partner with you. We are seeking a dedicated Qualified Primary Science Teacher (QTS mandatory) to join our partner primary school in Watford for a long-term or permanent placement starting in September 2026. This forward-thinking school heavily prioritises STEM subjects, practical investigation, and environmental education. As a full-time science specialist, you will take full responsibility for designing and delivering a vibrant, inquiry-based primary science curriculum-inspiring curiosity and equipping children with the critical thinking skills to explore the world around them.

Job Responsibility

  • Inspirational Science Delivery: Plan, prepare, and teach engaging, practical science lessons across Key Stages 1 and 2, ensuring strict alignment with the National Curriculum frameworks for Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.
  • Hands-On STEM Investigation: Design safe, interactive experiments and practical investigations that encourage pupils to predict, observe, test, and conclude.
  • Cross-Curricular STEM Integration: Collaboration with maths and computing leads to embed technology and digital data-tracking tools into scientific investigations.
  • Progress Assessment & Tracking: Implement robust assessment frameworks to track scientific understanding, investigative skills, and vocabulary acquisition, tailoring lessons to support or stretch all learners.
  • Inclusive Classroom Leadership: Manage and deploy classroom Teaching Assistants effectively to support pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEND) and English as an Additional Language (EAL).
  • Whole-School STEM Advocacy: Lead internal science initiatives, coordinate British Science Week activities, manage the school's science resources, and utilise outdoor learning spaces or school gardens.

Requirements

  • Qualified Teacher Status (QTS): Mandatory. A proven track record of teaching primary science or general primary education within a UK school setting. (ECTs with a strong science specialism or background are welcome).
  • Primary STEM Expertise: A deep, up-to-date knowledge of the primary science curriculum, working scientific objectives, and safe laboratory/classroom experiment protocols.
  • Engaging Classroom Management: The ability to maintain a highly organised, safe, and positive learning environment where practical work can be conducted efficiently.
  • Commitment to the Full Academic Year: The professional reliability to take on a full-time, full-responsibility classroom role starting in September 2026.
  • Compliance: An enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service (or a willingness to process a new one via Randstad).

What we offer

  • Competitive Pay: £141 - £163 per day
  • Secure Your Autumn Term Early: Step into the summer holidays with the absolute peace of mind that your full-time September 2026 contract is locked in.
  • Premium Watford Network: Gain access to beautifully resourced local schools boasting dedicated science labs, tech-enabled classrooms, and strong leadership teams.
  • Certified Portfolio Enhancement: Elevate your credentials with free access to our library of certified CPD courses, including Advanced Behaviour Management, STEM Pedagogy, and Safeguarding.
  • Dedicated Consultant Advocacy: Work closely with Neeraj, your specialist recruitment partner, who will fast-track your compliance and support your professional growth.
