Are you a high-achieving STEM graduate looking to gain valuable secondary school experience before pursuing teacher training, educational research or a long-term career in education? A well-regarded secondary school in Hackney is seeking a STEM Graduate to join their team immediately on a full-time basis.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a diverse and ambitious school with a strong reputation for academic achievement, inclusion and student development. The school has a strong focus on Mathematics and Science, providing graduates with meaningful opportunities to support students across KS3 and GCSE-level learning. You will work closely with experienced teachers and support staff while developing valuable classroom and intervention experience.

The Role

As a STEM Graduate, you will provide 1:1 and small-group intervention support in Maths and Science up to GCSE level, helping students address gaps in subject knowledge, prepare for assessments and build confidence.
