Teacher of Geography (Maternity)

Are you interested in delivering a high-quality Geography education that inspires curiosity and fascination about the world? Are you knowledgeable about diverse places, people, resources and natural and human environments? Do you have a passion which drives you to educate young people so that they can explain how the Earth’s features at different scales are shaped, interconnected and how they change over time? If so, read on.

We are looking for someone with the ability to contribute our drive for high standards, attainment and progress for all learners and who is able to inspire and develop outstanding classroom practice with high aspirations for themselves and others. A passion for learning with creative ideas, and an ability to build positive relationships and embed an enjoyment of your subject into lessons is essential.

Collaboration is the beating heart of our Trust and from right across the Trust our teachers learn together. They share their practice, encourage and support each other to get the best out of the working day. The candidate will have opportunities to work with other colleagues in the Trust to support the development of the curriculum and teaching in Geography across our family of schools.

At Tarleton Academy we have a relentless focus on excellence, expect the highest standards of behaviour but we have a pragmatic emphasis on the balance between challenge and support, high expectation and nurture. And this counts for students and staff, teaching and non-teaching, so that our schools develop a family ethos, where everyone wants the best for everyone else.

This position is full time and fixed term for the purpose of maternity cover. This position is suitable for ECTs.
