A fantastic opportunity to develop your teaching career through PSHE delivery and classroom cover, supporting students’ personal growth.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and committed PSHE and Cover Teacher to join our team at Tewkesbury Academy. At M1 level, this role offers an excellent opportunity to develop your teaching practice while delivering a high-quality, engaging PSHE curriculum and supporting the wider academy through planned lesson cover across a range of subjects.

Through both aspects of the role, you will foster resilience, respect and independence, supporting students to become responsible, reflective and successful learners.
Our commitment to high standards, an ambitious and knowledge-rich curriculum, and excellent teaching ensures that all students are supported to thrive both academically and personally. We aim to equip young people with the confidence, character and skills they need for future study, employment and life beyond school.
