Space Advocate (Seconded Teacher), National Space Centre

The National Space Academy is an award-winning provider of education programmes, continuing professional development sessions (CPD) and careers events, designed to support schools’ curricula in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) using space as the inspirational context. 

This ground-breaking initiative combines world class expertise in space science and climate science at leading universities and companies in the UK with a network of outstanding teachers to provide engaging and effective STEM interventions nationally and internationally.

The National Space Academy has received a grant to deliver a programme of free intensive and interactive activities within the second phase of the UK Space Agency’s Space to Learn programme. We will be adding to our team of outstanding science teachers, who are based across all the regions and nations of the United Kingdom (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales) to deliver masterclasses in our target schools. We are currently recruiting in Birmingham, Bristol/Bath and Brighton/Eastbourne regions.

We are currently recruiting in:

• Birmingham
• Bristol/Bath
• Brighton/Eastbourne

*Please note, we will only be recruiting in these areas

As our masterclasses have a physics focus, we will need physics specialist teachers for KS5 delivery, however, any outstanding science teachers can be trained to deliver at KS3 and KS4. As such, this is an excellent opportunity for non-physics teachers to develop their skills.

The role can be shared across two teachers within the same school (for example a physics and non-physics specialist science teacher) increasing the upskilling potential of your school’s science department. If applications are being made on a shared basis this should be stated at application and a joint application made.
