St Cuthbert’s Catholic High School is seeking a highly motivated and flexible General Teacher to join our dedicated team. This role offers a distinctive and rewarding opportunity to gain wide-ranging experience across a dynamic and supportive school, while contributing directly to our central mission: forming great men.
At St Cuthbert’s, we do not rely on short term or external cover solutions. Instead, we invest in qualified professionals who can maintain consistency and high standards in every classroom. This ensures that each boy receives the high quality education he deserves, even during periods of staff absence, and that no pupil is ever disadvantaged.
As a General Teacher, you will deliver well-structured and engaging lessons across a variety of subjects and year groups, working with teams throughout the school. You will help our boys understand the relevance of what they learn, encouraging curiosity, resilience, and a love of challenge. Most importantly, you will contribute to their growth as young men of competence, conscience, compassion, and commitment, helping them develop the character and confidence they need to thrive.
We welcome teachers from all subject disciplines. What matters most is a passion for teaching, strong classroom management, and an adaptable, proactive approach. Whether you are an established teacher seeking a new direction or looking to broaden your expertise across the curriculum, this role offers variety, professional development, and the chance to make a meaningful impact every single day.
St Cuthbert’s is an all-boys Catholic school with more than 140 years of educational excellence, built on a commitment to faith, character, justice, and service. Joining us means becoming part of a purposeful and supportive community, where every colleague shares in the vital work of helping our boys become the men they are called to be. Teach with purpose. Help form great men.
