Art Teacher Wanted, Kirklees

September Start | Full-Time | No End Date | Bring Your Creativity to Life ✨

Calling all creative minds, paint-splattered sleeves, sketchbook carriers, and classroom inspirers… this one’s for you

We’re working with a brilliant secondary school in Kirklees looking for an Art Teacher who can turn blank pages into big ideas and classroom walls into mini galleries ️

And honestly? The department is the kind people actually want to be part of. Supportive team, engaged students, and leadership that trusts teachers to teach. No endless clipboard hovering here

You’ll be:

• Teaching Art across secondary age groups
• ‍ Encouraging creativity, confidence, and self-expression
