Start date: January 2026

Hitchin Boys’ School (HBS) is an outstanding and over-subscribed comprehensive school with a mixed sixth form, which forms part of the highly successful Hitchin Schools’ Consortium. We have a history that stretches back nearly 400 years but embrace fresh thinking and a modern, vibrant curriculum. We have high expectations, excellent standards of behaviour and pride in our extra-curricular activities that lead to academically successful and well-rounded students who are well equipped for life beyond school.

We are now seeking an enthusiastic and ambitious Teacher of Geography to join our excellent Humanities Faculty. Geography is a thriving subject, popular with students and well-resourced for success. We have ten GCSE classes and three A Level classes, with students who are motivated and eager to learn. Our department offers a rich programme of enrichment, including overseas trips to destinations like Costa Rica and Iceland. We also ensure our students gain hands-on experience through residential fieldwork for both GCSE and A Level, bringing classroom learning to life and creating unforgettable experiences.

This is an outstanding opportunity for someone who wants to join a high-performing school and gain significant experience to further enhance their career. Early Career Teacher (ECT) applications are welcome. While we have an immediate need to fill this role for a January 2026 start, we will consider applications from candidates who are unable to start until September 2026.

We are particularly keen to hear from those wishing to contribute to other aspects of school life outside the classroom.

What can HBS offer you?

• A school with great traditions, an excellent reputation but with a modern outlook
• A dedicated well qualified and experienced staff who share the goal enshrined in our school motto “Per Ardua Ad Alta” - Striving for Excellence
• A commitment to supporting the mental, physical & emotional wellbeing of both staff and students
• Free Employee Assistance Programme, accessible 24/7 and on-site mental health first aiders
