Job overview
We are seeking a dynamic, high achieving graduate with excellent communication skills to join our successful and innovative team, with teaching responsibility across the full range of age and ability. Tailored personal development supported with whole College Professional learning.
An outstanding opportunity to contribute to our strong co-curricular program through our College community of Houses and develop your teaching skills in preparation for future roles.
With a strong track record of results, excellent partnerships with feeder primaries and progression to university which Ofsted declare to be “impressive”, our College is first choice for students in Bradford.
We offer:
* excellent results
* hardworking students with very supportive parents
* strong professional development
* central location in the West Yorkshire conurbation

Science is the largest subject area within the College producing improved examination results each year. Biology, Chemistry and Physics are all very popular subjects at Advanced level. We have a large and very strong subject team consisting of 17 teaching staff and supported by 3 very able technicians. We are a dynamic team who work collaboratively to develop and deliver engaging and challenging lessons. We are committed to working together, planning and preparing resources to share workload. At key stage 4 staff teach all 3 sciences and specialise in their subject areas at Key stage 5.
Our 14 laboratories split across the 2 sites are fully equipped with fume cupboards, demonstration benches and interactive whiteboards. Class sizes vary but characteristically top sets are larger and classes reduce in size, allowing lower sets to contain fewer than 20 students. Students are set from year 8 and continue to be set through all other year groups.
Key stage 3 students are taught on the Ignis site and Key stages 4 and 5 are taught on the Ardor site. We currently offer Trilogy (double award) and Triple Award Science at GCSE following the AQA specification. At Advanced level we offer BTEC Certificate, Extended Certificate and Diploma in Applied Science as well as A Level Biology, Chemistry and Physics following AQA specifications.

Our College and Our Mission
St Bede’s and St Joseph’s Catholic College is a highly aspirational learning community, striving to provide an outstanding 21st century education for all learners in a learning environment of the highest possible quality. We work constantly to promote a passion for learning, to create innovative ways of working and to nurture the talents and ambitions of all our students and staff.
This is an exciting time to join the College as we continue to develop this mission and build on our tradition, with a determined focus on strong teaching, and wide-ranging co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Our mission inspires the three elements of our College Diploma – Scholastica, academic achievement, Ecclesia, contribution to the Catholic life of the College, and Olympia, participation in activities outside the classroom.
The College motto, Christus Lumen Gentium, Christ, Light of Nations, inspires the organisation of our subject areas into five Learning Divisions, each with three leaders: Ignite, the Division Leader, responsible for overall performance, Illuminate, responsible for quality of teaching and professional learning, and Shine, responsible for tracking student progress and organising intervention and support. Each Learning Division is complemented by a Division Manager who provides efficient and effective clerical and administrative support for teachers.
After GCSE, the majority of students continue with us into St Benedict’s Sixth Form, our very successful Post-16 provision, where approximately 450 students enjoy fantastic study and social facilities and achieve excellent results. Our Houses and Learning Divisions and our high-performing sixth form reflect our passion to achieve success for all and we want to appoint staff who share this passion and are committed to supporting the development of our mission.
If this is you, we look forward to reading your application and welcoming you as a member of our community.
