What skills and experience we're looking for

Are you passionate about humanities and eager to inspire the next generation of young people? We are seeking to appoint a full time, permanent Teacher of Geography. Our Humanities department incorporates History, Geography, RS, Philosophy & Ethics and Politics, all taught as discrete subjects from KS3-5; we are expanding our offer with the addition of Travel & Tourism at KS5 from September. We are therefore looking for a Geography specialist to join the team. NQTs/ECTs are welcome to apply and will benefit from our robust induction and mentoring program.

We can offer you:

  • The support of a vibrant and driven senior leadership team, committed to supporting staff with a mindful approach to teacher workload and promoting a healthy work/life balance.

  • A fantastic, modern building in a convenient location, within walking distance of several Metro stations and close to Four Lane Ends bus station.

  • An evidence-informed approach to CPD, offering tailored professional development opportunities for both teaching and support staff.

  • A collaborative, open-door culture that celebrates and shares best practices.

  • A strong emphasis on traditional KIDMAP values: Kindness, Integrity, Determination, Manners, Ambition, and Positivity.

  • Outstanding support for Early Career Teachers (ECTs) and a dedication to developing talent, cultivating excellent leaders, and empowering them to build their own high-performing teams.

  • An inspiring and motivated student body, making teaching and learning truly rewarding.
