Art Teacher

Fixed term from September 2024 until August 2025

Outwood Academy Hemsworth is an 11-18 academy, based in the cathedral city of Wakefield in West Yorkshire, near Leeds, with a curriculum designed to stretch and enrich our students’ experience. Our relentless focus on learning ensures everyone has the right to learn.

Part of the Outwood Family since 2018, we are a welcoming and supportive academy, with a relentless determination to provide the very best education for every child. With a holistic view of education, we aim to create a safe and secure learning community that encourages healthy and sustainable lifestyles and empowers students to pursue career pathways they will find stimulating and deeply rewarding.

In 2021 we completed a new multi-million pound development, the highlight of which was a new 17 classroom teaching block which is home to music and drama rooms, art rooms, a main hall and a dining room. We are proud to have been awarded Gold Status by the Carnegie Centre of Excellence for Mental Health Award.

We are looking to appoint a dynamic, enthusiastic and inspirational teacher to join our Art Department for the next academic year. This is a fantastic job opportunity for a teacher who really wants to make a difference to the lives of young people. Our single goal is ‘Students First’ and you will be joining a strong team of professionals working to this sole aim. 

The team consists of four passionate teachers each with their own areas of expertise and experience and a Technician that supports across the whole department. As a department; we provide most of the optional subjects across the school and therefore have a unique opportunity to expertly support our students in building their future, we have a brilliant KS4 uptake and students are genuinely excited to take part in our lessons. We work collaboratively as a team to ensure our students get the best of specialist teaching across the range of subjects whilst also ensuring that all of our teachers have a network of open, supportive and friendly peers to rely on at all times.
