We are working with a high-performing Outstanding secondary school in the Ipswich area that is looking to appoint a committed and creative Art Teacher from January. This is a full-time, permanent position within a well-established department where creativity is encouraged and properly resourced.
The Role
The successful candidate will teach Art across KS3 and KS4, supporting students to develop both technical competence and individual artistic identity. The department has a strong focus on skill progression, analytical thinking, and confidence in visual communication, resulting in consistently strong student outcomes.
You will play an active role in curriculum development, assessment, and enrichment, including exhibitions and whole-school creative initiatives. Experience with KS5 Art is advantageous but not a requirement.
School Information
This Outstanding school offers a structured yet supportive environment, with excellent student behaviour and a strong culture of respect. Leadership is forward-thinking and places a clear emphasis on staff development, workload balance, and long-term retention.
The Art department benefits from:
* Purpose-built studio facilities
* Access to high-quality materials and digital tools
* Dedicated technician support
* A clear and thoughtfully sequenced curriculum
Teachers are encouraged to innovate while working within a consistent departmental vision, and CPD is personalised rather than generic.

* Strong classroom management and organisation
* Commitment to high standards and continuous improvement
* A positive, professional approach to teamwork
