Start Date: 1 September 2026

Salary: £37,870 to £50,474 + TLR

Are you an experienced Geography Teacher looking to take the next step in your career?

Do you set high expectations for your students, supporting them to meet their full potential, across the full Geography curriculum?

Are you an innovative practitioner who seeks out engaging opportunities for your students to expand their learning outside the classroom?

At TeacherActive, we understand the impact high quality teaching has on student outcomes. This is why we have a dedicated permanent recruitment team based in London to support qualified teachers match with the right schools and take the next step in their teaching careers.

We have recently partnered with a high achieving secondary school in East London that is seeking an experienced Geography Teacher to join their well-run Humanities Department from September 2026. Teachers and leaders at this large secondary school set high expectations for both staff and students, promoting academic excellence across all subjects and maintaining good behaviour. Educational excursions and trips are encouraged to supplement in-class learning with practical and immersive experiences.

In this role, you will teach across the full Geography curriculum at KS3 and KS4; the school is open to discussing KS5 teaching as well. The school uses the AQA exam board for both GCSE and A level, therefore curriculum knowledge in these areas would be beneficial.

To be considered for this role, you will:

• Demonstrate excellent subject knowledge and confident classroom presence
• Hold QTS (Qualified Teacher Status) and have completed your ECT or NQT induction
• Have a degree in Geography or a closely related subject
• Foster positive relationships with your students, setting and maintaining high expectations
• Demonstrate high standards of professionalism
• Communicate clearly and confidently, verbally and in writing
• Hold UK Right to Work

By engaging with TeacherActive for this role, you will gain:

• A dedicated permanent recruitment consultant offering individualised, expert support
• Access to a range of schools and roles across our London network
• Continuous professional development through our free online portal, My-Progression, with new CPD videos added each week
• Access to our referral scheme which allows you to earn a £100 bonus for each successful referral, in line with our terms and conditions
• The security of partnering with a well-established education company with a proven record of service since 2004
