Art and Design Teacher Required for Secondary School in Keighley

Are you an experienced Art and Design teacher with QTS who is seeking a full-time role for September 2026? This role working in a successful and welcoming secondary school in Keighley may be just right for you!

About the role

We are working with the school to recruit an enthusiastic and creative teacher who can commit to the position for the entirety of the academic year (and beyond), teaching Art and Design across KS3 and KS4. This is a long-term position starting in September 2026, with the potential to become permanent for the right candidate.

The school is focused on providing the highest quality of education within a caring and inclusive environment, where every student is encouraged to achieve their full potential academically, socially, and spiritually. With a strong ethos centred on respect, compassion, and service to others, the school prides itself on nurturing well-rounded young people who make a positive contribution to their community.

The successful candidate will join a supportive and collaborative Creative Arts department, working alongside experienced colleagues who are committed to delivering an engaging and inspiring curriculum. Staff are expected to uphold the school’s high standards, promote a culture of excellence, and foster positive relationships that enable all students to thrive.

Experience of teaching Photography would be desirable, although this is not essential, and applications are welcomed from candidates with a strong background in Art and Design who are keen to broaden their skillset.

The school is committed to investing in its staff and offers excellent professional development opportunities. There is genuine scope for career progression, with Teaching and Learning Responsibility (TLR) opportunities available for the right candidate.
