To apply, you must have the right to work in the UK
Pay: £350–£600 per week (dependent on experience)
Location: Worksop
About The School
Connex Education are working in partnership with a high-performing secondary academy in Worksop that has earned a strong reputation for academic ambition, exceptional standards, and a culture built on respect. This is a forward-thinking school where clear systems and consistent routines create a calm, focused, and purposeful learning environment.
The academy itself is modern and striking, with bright, well-maintained facilities and well-resourced classrooms designed to inspire both staff and students. Corridors are orderly, expectations are understood, and learning time is protected. There is a tangible sense of pride across the school community — from students who are motivated to succeed, to staff who are passionate about delivering high-quality education.
Leadership are highly visible and genuinely supportive, fostering a culture where professional development is prioritised and staff are valued. Whether you are an aspiring teacher, a graduate considering a career in education, or an experienced cover professional ready to take on more responsibility, this school provides the structure and backing needed to thrive.
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 provided by departments. You will lead classes independently, maintain high behavioural expectations, and ensure students remain engaged and progressing.
Responsibilities include:
• Planning and delivering engaging lessons with departmental guidance
• Managing behaviour in line with the school’s clear and consistent policy
• Assessing, marking, and providing feedback on student work
• Creating a positive, focused, and respectful classroom environment
• Supporting students’ academic progress and personal development
This role offers invaluable hands-on teaching experience within a school that combines high standards with strong support systems.
Why This School Stands Out
• Calm, structured, and purposeful learning environment
• Modern facilities and well-resourced classrooms
• Clear and consistently applied behaviour systems
• Visible and supportive leadership team
• Strong culture of professional growth and development
• Ambitious, community-driven 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 Worksop and surrounding areas
If you are looking to build genuine teaching experience within a structured, aspirational, and supportive secondary setting, this could be the perfect opportunity.
