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.
