At the heart of the school
Islamic Studies Teacher
The subject our whole ethos rests on, taught alongside the tarbiyah woven through our week. We are looking for someone who teaches it as something to live by rather than a syllabus to be covered.
Core subject
Maths Teacher
A core subject, taught live from our Foundations programme through to GCSE. We are looking for someone who can make it make sense, and who is not content until the student who was struggling has understood.
Core subject
History Teacher
A core subject here, with a pre-GCSE programme open to standalone students too. We are looking for someone who tells the story well and teaches students to weigh evidence for themselves.
Who we are looking for
Teaching is an amanah, and we treat it as one
We are seeking passionate teachers who can show evidence of their experience and subject knowledge, and who are committed to serving the ummah. We are looking for people who see teaching as more than a career prospect: it is an amanah that must be upheld to the highest standards.
Above all we want someone who loves their subject and wants to share that love with young people. Every teacher must have solid Islamic foundations. For every subject other than Qur'an, Islamic Studies and Arabic, we also require experience of the UK education system and a UK teaching qualification.
- A genuine love of your subject, and the wish to pass it on
- A passion for teaching, and evidence of experience and subject knowledge
- A commitment to serving the ummah
- Solid Islamic foundations
- For subjects other than Qur'an, Islamic Studies and Arabic: experience of the UK education system and a UK teaching qualification
Why teach here
A place where your faith is respected, and your time is your own
Coming from an educational background ourselves, we understand the burdens many teachers face, and we have built a school that removes the ones we can.
- Flexible work, with no commute and more time for the things you love
- The freedom to pray, and an hour on Friday for jumu'ah, without asking
- Opportunities to develop yourself: spiritually, personally and intellectually
- A family atmosphere, in a school four years in and still small enough for you to help shape
