Teacher of Geography

We are looking for an enthusiastic and highly motivated Teacher of Geography to join our thriving, vibrant Humanities faculty. Whether you are an ECT or more experienced teacher, you will be joining a collaborative and hardworking team.

Our Team

Our vision for Humanities is to provide all learners with a love and understanding of the world and its people; learning from the past and engaging with the present, in order to shape the future. We aim to achieve this through a broad, knowledge-rich, accessible curriculum, with inspiring teaching and learning at its heart. In doing so, we seek to EMPOWER* students to be active, respectful members of modern Britain and the modern world, embodying our community values.

This is an exciting opportunity to join our team and be part of the Cantell family. The successful candidate will continue to build on our success, showing the drive and determination for continuing school improvement and raising attainment. The ability to teach a second subject across Humanities would be advantageous.

Humanities at Cantell:
