What We Are Looking For
Qualifications: A degree in Geography (or a relevant discipline) with QTS/QTLS preferred (though experienced independent sector or unqualified specialists are encouraged to apply).
Subject Expertise: Strong curriculum knowledge with the ability to confidently prepare students for GCSE examinations.
Adaptability: Someone who can hit the ground running in September, quickly building rapport with students and staff alike.
Why Choose This Role & School?
Paid to Scale: Highly competitive remuneration inline with Main / Upper Pay Scales, paid directly (not via an umbrella company).
Exceptional Working Environment: Teach in a calm, respectful atmosphere where pupil engagement is incredibly high and classroom disruption is non-existent.
Superb Resources: Access to state-of-the-art technology, departmental resources, and generous non-contact planning time.
Fixed-Term Security: A guaranteed 1-year contract running for the full 2026/27 academic year.
