Geography Teacher - Inner-City Birmingham (Nechells)

Full-time | Long-term role

This is an opportunity to join a new and growing 11-18 secondary academy, opened in 2022, designed from the ground up with modern, purpose-built facilities and a clear academic vision.

The school is still in its growth phase, which matters. Class sizes are manageable, systems are still being embedded, and staff have genuine influence over how departments develop rather than inheriting years of baggage.

About the school

State-funded 11-18 academy, mixed intake

Opened September 2022

Currently operating below full capacity while it grows year on year

Part of an established multi-academy trust with a strong track record in specialist education

Curriculum has a digital and real-world focus, designed to prepare pupils for modern pathways

Behaviour and personal development rated Good at most recent inspection

First GCSE cohorts began in 2025, with a planned sixth form opening in the coming years

This is not a chaotic turnaround school, nor is it a sleepy institution. It sits in the middle: structured, ambitious, and still shaping its identity.

The role

Teaching Geography across KS3 and KS4

Working within a developing humanities department with scope to shape schemes of work

Supported behaviour systems with clear expectations

Long-term opportunity with stability rather than rolling short-term cover

The right candidate

Geography specialist or strong generalist

Confident classroom presence and clear routines

Comfortable working in an inner-city context without drama

QTS preferred, but strong experience will be considered

This role suits someone who wants professional autonomy, consistency, and the chance to build something properly rather than firefight someone else's mess.

If you want a Geography role where your work actually sticks, this is one worth discussing.
