What teaching here looks like

  • Flexible, with no commute
  • Time for jumu'ah and salah
  • Invested in your growth
  • A family, not a hierarchy
  • Change you can see

Five reasons, in five words each. The full case is below.

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.

Why work with us?

Five reasons teachers choose The Forerunners

Coming from an educational background ourselves, we know what teachers are usually asked to put up with. This is what we do differently.

  1. 01

    Flexible work

    Coming from an educational background, we understand the burdens many teachers face. We are therefore taking care to ensure that we provide you with the flexibility you need. Not only will you benefit from not having to commute to work, you will also have more time to spend on doing the things you love outside of your working hours.

  2. 02

    Religious freedom

    If you have ever had to deal with the problem of not having a place to pray, or your employer not understanding that you need an hour on Friday for your jumu'ah prayers, or a few minutes of your day to perform your obligatory prayers, then you would understand how much of a luxury it is to work in a place where your faith is respected, and you have the freedom to express your religion with confidence.

  3. 03

    Developmental opportunities

    Investing back into the people that work with us is crucial to our work. It is healthy for you to receive something back for the work you give to our young people. We will be investing in you by ensuring that you have opportunities to develop yourself outside of your profession, whether that be spiritually, personally, or intellectually. Your development is as important to us as it is to you.

  4. 04

    Family environment

    Four years in, alhamdulillah, we are still small enough that you will have many opportunities to shape The Forerunners into the place that you would love to work in. We will be fostering a family atmosphere in our work together, and will count on each other as brothers and sisters to advise, improve and hold each other accountable. The Forerunners Education belongs to all of us as a community of like-minded individuals working to make a positive impact, and the environment we work within will be a reflection of that.

  5. 05

    You want to make a difference

    The lives and minds of young people matter to you, and you want to find an avenue to make a difference. The Forerunners Education will be a perfect place where you can feel empowered, and inspired to make the difference you seek to see in this world. You understand the problems many Muslims face: the identity crisis, lack of confidence, lack of role models, and much more. You are yearning to be part of the change. That is why you will choose to join us.
