Teach what matters. Make it memorable.

Fancy a fresh start this September? We’re helping a brilliant secondary school in Wakefield find a Humanities Teacher to step in for the autumn term—covering a mix of RE, History and Geography. The department’s friendly, the behaviour’s calm, and the planning’s already in great shape.

What to expect:

• Supportive SLT and approachable colleagues

• Clear expectations, good systems, and help when you need it

You’ll be great if you:

• Hold UK QTS and have experience teaching any Humanities subjects

• Can bring topics to life and make even the Tudors feel fresh

• Like having your ducks in a row but can flex when the timetable changes

• Have a calm presence, a good sense of humour, and a love for the subject(s)

What you’ll get from us:

• Weekly pay (PAYE only – no umbrella nonsense)

• FREE access to our online CPD Academy

• A friendly consultant who actually listens to what you want

• Honest updates and bookings that suit you
