Lead Teacher in Stafford

We are seeking to appoint a permanent teacher of PSHEE to commence in September 2026. This is a fantastic opportunity for a forward-thinking professional to join us.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who has already had experience of middle leadership in a school, or someone who wants to move into middle leadership. Regardless of your experience, you will receive excellent support from senior leaders across the school to successfully deliver on your role.

You will be an inspiring teacher with the ability to deliver exciting lessons to engage students in their learning. You will use initiative and creativity to continue the development of our students' experiences in PSHEE and contribute to the school's continued success.

You will be expected to teach Health and Social Care/Child Development at Key Stage 4 and PSHE to all abilities at Key Stages 3 and 4 and to work with senior leaders to develop careers education information and guidance across our school. Ofsted recently judged personal development in our school to be at 'expected standard' and the successful applicant will work with senior leaders and all staff and the community to continue to develop this area of provision.
