Location: Bath
Contract: Supply / Full‑time (Monday-Friday)
Hours: 8:30am – 3:30pm
Salary: Competitive (Dependent on Experience)

Are you a creative, enthusiastic Art teacher seeking a flexible role that supports your work-life balance? We are looking for dedicated Supply Art Teachers to work across secondary schools in Bath, with consistent demand for high‑quality Art cover. While Art specialists are especially encouraged to apply, we also welcome teachers from other subject areas who bring strong classroom practice and a passion for creativity.

Supply teaching offers the ideal opportunity to experience a range of settings, enhance your professional skills, and enjoy autonomy in your schedule-without the additional responsibilities tied to a permanent post. Many short‑term supply roles also develop into long‑term or permanent opportunities, offering both flexibility and future progression.

The school provides a warm, ambitious, and high‑achieving environment where students are encouraged to take pride in their learning and pursue their creative potential. It nurtures a culture where learners feel supported, motivated, and inspired to grow. With exceptional teaching, strong pastoral care, and a vibrant range of cultural, sporting, and extra‑curricular opportunities, the school equips students to thrive both academically and personally. A focus on aspiration, positive relationships, and student voice ensures that young people feel valued within a community that celebrates success and encourages artistic confidence.

Why This School?

• A welcoming and inclusive community grounded in shared values
  * A culture of high expectations, mutual respect, and supportive relationships
  * Strong pastoral systems that prioritise wellbeing and personal growth
  * Leadership committed to staff development, training, and wellbeing
  * A creative, forward‑thinking school serving the wider Bath area
