Your new school

Lift Tamworth, part of Lift Schools, is an inclusive and ambitious secondary school at the heart of its local community. Situated in the historic market town of Tamworth, the school benefits from excellent transport links and a strong local identity.

Lift Schools is a growing multi-academy trust of 58 schools, with a strong presence in the Midlands. We are committed to providing excellent education in every classroom, every day, alongside exceptional professional development opportunities for our staff.

Lift Tamworth has recently been graded 'Good' by Ofsted in all areas and is led by a welcoming and dedicated Principal, Jonathan Spears. The school has built a purposeful and supportive learning environment where students are engaged, ambitious, and supported to succeed. Staff are committed, collaborative, and passionate about delivering the best outcomes for every pupil. The school has shaped the school day to support workload and wellbeing: CPD and enrichment are built into our working hours of 8.20am - 3.20pm.

Your new role

We are seeking a passionate and dedicated Humanities Teacher to join our thriving department. This is an exciting opportunity to teach across Humanities subjects, including Geography, History, and/or Religious Education, within a supportive and forward-thinking team.

Our Humanities curriculum is designed to develop curiosity, critical thinking, and a deep understanding of the world. From exploring global connections in Geography, to analysing historical events and developing cultural awareness through Religious Education, you will play a key role in shaping well-rounded, informed young people. Alongside this, you may also contribute to Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education, supporting pupils' wellbeing, relationships, and life skills. At Lift Tamworth, pupils benefit from a comprehensive, whole-school PSHE approach, including a structured curriculum at Key Stage 3, dedicated pastoral time at Key Stage 4, and targeted support through assemblies and enrichment programmes. This ensures students are equipped with the knowledge, resilience, and skills to thrive in both school and modern society.

You will be supported to deliver engaging, high-quality lessons that inspire and challenge students of all abilities.
