Unqualified Teacher
To apply, you must have the right to work in the UK
Pay: £350-£600 per week (dependent on experience)
Location: Mansfield
About The School
Connex Education are working with a thriving and ambitious secondary academy in Mansfield that has rapidly built a strong reputation within the local community. This is a modern, forward-thinking school where high expectations, clear routines, and a culture of mutual respect create a calm, focused, and purposeful learning environment.
From the moment you step inside, the atmosphere is structured and aspirational. The building is bright, well-maintained, and designed to promote both academic achievement and student wellbeing. Classrooms are engaging spaces where learning is valued, corridors are orderly, and senior leaders are highly visible and supportive.
The leadership team foster a culture where staff are developed, supported, and genuinely appreciated. This is an excellent opportunity for aspiring teachers, experienced cover staff, graduates, or education professionals looking to take the next step into a teaching role within a school that provides strong systems and clear expectations.
The Role
As an Unqualified Teacher, you will take full responsibility for delivering lessons across KS3 and KS4 using structured schemes of work and pre-prepared materials. You will manage classroom behaviour, adapt learning where necessary, and ensure students remain engaged and progressing.
Responsibilities include:
• Planning and delivering engaging lessons (with departmental support)
• Managing behaviour in line with the school’s clear and consistent policy
• Assessing and providing feedback on student work
• Creating a positive and focused learning environment
• Supporting students’ academic and personal development
This role offers invaluable classroom experience in a setting where expectations are high and support systems are strong.
Why This School Stands Out
• Calm, structured, and purposeful learning environment
• Modern facilities and well-resourced classrooms
• Clear behaviour systems that are consistently applied
• Highly visible and supportive leadership team
• Strong culture of professional growth and development
• Ambitious, community-focused ethos
To Be Successful in This Role, You Will:
• Have experience working with young people (school experience desirable)
• Be confident leading a classroom independently
• Demonstrate strong behaviour management skills
• Be adaptable, resilient, and proactive
• Have excellent communication and organisational skills
• Be able to commute to Mansfield and surrounding areas
If you are looking for a school where you can build genuine teaching experience in a structured, ambitious, and aesthetically pleasing environment, this could be the perfect opportunity.
