Humanities Teacher for the James Marks Academy Trust

Pay: MPS/UPS and SEN point

Start Date: 01/09/2026

A unique and exciting opportunity has arisen to join our small Trust to teach Humanities. We require a teacher who is able to deliver either Geography, History and PSHE, or a combination of these subjects.  This role will be based in either one of our two provisions: the long established Roman Fields in Hemel Hempstead OR the James Marks Academy in Welwyn. If you are able to work in both provisions an arrangement will be made that will ensure this is reflected in your pay/working conditions. If you are not able to work across both provisions, please still apply, but only if you want to work part-time, or you are able to teach a second subject.  

Are you the ambitious and committed professional we are looking for? If so, please note our staff retention rate has remained static at 96% for three years and there is a reason for this: we offer an exceptionally rewarding place to work. This is partly due to the amazing progress our pupils make socially, both emotionally and academically, whilst allowing for the real ‘work-life’ balance teaching smaller groups affords.

The role will provide interested candidates with the chance to learn from experienced colleagues, so that each pupil is provided with a bespoke holistic pathway that has challenge and support in equilibrium.  Our belief is that we can support an excellent teacher with high expectations to work successfully with all pupils. Hence, expertise in the classroom and the desire to learn will always be significantly more important than SEN experience.

We are therefore looking to recruit an enthusiastic, reflective and committed individual with aspirations for future progression within a thriving and unique organisation.

The successful applicant will join our team of experienced teachers and tutors and teach small groups. You must be proactive in your approach, working closely with parents, our staff team and other agencies to find workable solutions and responses to engage pupils, and support their well-being and attendance. You should also be willing to spend time with our pupils outside of lessons to build the essential relationships that shape the Trust and allow us all to flourish. This role offers work life-balance in abundance, administration tasks are kept to a minimum and smaller groups mean teachers have the opportunity to focus on our priorities, building relationships and delivering quality first teaching.

We'd love you to visit - please contact Mandy Crow on 01442 256915 (ext. 203), term time only to arrange a visit.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of young people and expect all staff and volunteers to share in this obligation. The successful candidate will be required to undertake an enhanced disclosure by the DBS.

Visit available any time prior to the closing date.

Hours: A minimum of 0.4 FTE or up to full-time with a second subject

Start Date: September 2026

• Are you passionate about your subject and driven to support pupils to reach their full potential?
• Do you want to work in a Trust where all colleagues answered either ‘strongly agree’ (97%) or ‘agree’ (3%) to the question ‘I am proud to be a member of staff’?

A unique and exciting opportunity has arisen to join our small Trust as a Science Teacher that can also offer a second subject. The post has arisen due to the increase in pupil numbers and popularity of the subject. This role is primarily based at the long-established Roman Fields with a requirement to work one day a week at our small site in Radlett.  If you are able to work across multiple sites an arrangement will be made that will ensure this is reflected in your pay/working conditions.

We have purpose-built ICT rooms.

Our small MAT, offers significant career progression for the right candidate.  Our founder school, Roman Fields is graded Ofsted ‘outstanding’ and holds the National Autistic Societies ‘Specialist, Advanced’ award.
