Secondary School Teacher (Paid to Scale)

Looking ahead to the next academic year?

While some teachers already know exactly what they want from September 2026, many are still figuring it out.

You may be settled where you are but curious about what other opportunities exist. Perhaps you're looking for a school with a different culture, stronger leadership, greater career progression or simply a fresh challenge.

Whatever stage you're at, now is a good time to start exploring your options.

At Quokka Education, we partner with secondary schools across Gosport, Lee-on-the-Solent, Fareham, Portchester, Stubbington, Whiteley and the surrounding Hampshire area, helping teachers secure roles where they can succeed both professionally and personally.

Current Opportunities Include

• Permanent teaching positions for September 2026
• Long-term teaching assignments with the potential to become permanent
• Roles across a variety of secondary schools and subject specialisms

Why start the conversation now?

The strongest opportunities are often secured by teachers who begin exploring the market early.

You don't need to be actively applying for jobs today. Sometimes it's simply about understanding what's available and whether there could be a better fit out there.

Our role is to provide honest advice, share relevant opportunities and support you in making the right decision for your career.

What We Offer

• Access to multiple teaching opportunities through one trusted recruiter
• Confidential representation to local schools
• Guidance with CVs, applications and interviews
• Insight into school cultures, leadership teams and expectations
• Ongoing support from initial enquiry through to placement

What makes Quokka Education different?

We believe recruitment should be personal.

That means taking the time to understand what matters to you rather than focusing solely on filling vacancies.

Whether you're seeking progression, stability, flexibility or a completely new challenge, we'll help you find opportunities aligned with your goals.

We would love to hear from

• Qualified Teachers (QTS, QTLS or equivalent)
• Early Career Teachers (ECTs)
• Experienced teachers considering a move for September 2026
• Teachers across all secondary subjects including English, Maths, Science, Humanities, Languages, PE, Technology and Creative Arts

Not actively looking? That's okay.

Many of the teachers we work with start by having a simple conversation.

No pressure. No expectations. Just an opportunity to learn more about the local market and decide whether a move could be right for you.
