Geography Teacher - Progressive Secondary School in Hackney

Start Date: September 2026

Contract: Full-time, Permanent

The Role

A progressive Secondary School in Hackney is seeking a professional, highly analytical, and exceptionally organised Geography Teacher to join their expanding Humanities faculty. This role represents a brilliant opportunity to champion global systems, environmental sustainability, and spatial analysis within an Inner London department featuring modern fieldwork equipment, digital mapping tools, and dedicated study suites.

The successful candidate will provide day-to-day instructional leadership across Key Stages 3, 4, and 5. The timetable will involve delivering a rich, challenging curriculum covering tectonic hazards, coastal geomorphology, and urbanisation metrics at GCSE, alongside advanced modules in global migration, carbon and water cycles, geopolitical frameworks, and landscape systems at A-Level.
