  Science Teacher
  An exciting first position in the UK, after 9 years of teaching in Hong Kong. My initial role is as a Science Teacher teaching years 7-11, both GCSE and BTEC. I have additional responsibilities as a teacher of ICT from years 7-11. The primary focus for the year will be to qualify through the Assessment Only route for teaching to meet UK teaching standards and to pass the Numeracy and Literacy Skills Tests.
