Job Description
As a Geography Teacher, you’ll show students that the subject is so much more than maps and place names. Teaching across KS3 and KS4, you’ll spark curiosity about people, places, and the environment—helping pupils link local issues with global challenges. From climate change and migration to cultural diversity, your teaching will deepen their understanding of the world around them.
Your lessons will blend academic rigour with creative, inquiry-based methods—utilising technology, fieldwork, and real-world resources. You'll guide students through GCSE geography, providing targeted support to ensure strong outcomes. And beyond the curriculum, you’ll have the opportunity to shape eco-clubs, outdoor learning initiatives, and sustainability projects that make a tangible impact.
If you thrive on inspiring debate, encouraging critical thinking, and connecting lessons to lived experiences, this is the role for you.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities:
Deliver engaging geography lessons across KS3 and KS4.
Prepare students for GCSE exams with focused interventions.
Promote enquiry-based learning and critical thinking.
Support enrichment such as field trips and eco-projects.
Desired Experience
+ Qualifications
QTS with a geography specialism.
Strong subject knowledge and a passion for global issues.
Creativity in teaching methods and confidence in fieldwork.
Ability to motivate and inspire a diverse learner group.
