Description

Are you a passionate, innovative and determined teacher who believes every young person deserves the chance to thrive? Do you want to work somewhere your impact is visible every single day—where breakthroughs happen, confidence grows, and students rediscover the joy of learning?

At Southover, we’re looking for educators who bring energy, optimism and a commitment to making a genuine difference in the lives of some of the most vulnerable young people. Our students have often had disrupted educational journeys, but with the right support, they achieve remarkable outcomes — academically, socially and emotionally.

If you thrive in a setting where no two days are the same, where relationships are at the heart of everything you do, and where your creativity and resilience are celebrated, you’ll feel right at home here.

We are seeking teachers who are determined to raise aspirations, secure progress and empower young people to succeed — not just in the classroom, but in life.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a good school where your work has purpose and your contribution truly matters. You will play a vital part in sustaining the high expectations, nurturing environment and holistic approach that our students rely on.

We put children and their families at the centre of everything we do, operating with dignity and respect whilst working collaboratively as one organisation.
