How would you like to get paid for five days, but only work four?
At Outcomes First Group, we believe in better work/life balance — and we’re putting wellbeing first.
That’s why we’re proud to be part of a 4-Day Working Week (4DWW) trial, where you can work one day less each week (or equivalent hours), while still receiving your full-time pay.
Many of our schools have already introduced the 4DWW — and others are preparing to roll it out as soon as they reach full staffing. So, whether it’s already in place or just around the corner, now’s the perfect time to join #teamOFG.
Job Title: Art & Design Teacher
Location: Glebedale School, Stoke-on-Trent, ST4 3AY
Salary: £39,000 – £42,000 per annum depending on experience (not pro rata)
Hours: 37.5 hours per week | Monday 8:00am–4:00pm | Tuesday to Friday 8:30am–4:30pm
Contract: Permanent | Term Time Only
Start: November 2025
UK applicants only. This role does not offer sponsorship.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and talented Art & Design Teacher to join our dedicated team. This is an exciting opportunity for a creative educator who is passionate about helping pupils express themselves, develop confidence, and achieve meaningful outcomes through the arts.
Our school supports young people with additional social, emotional, and mental health needs. Many pupils thrive best through practical, creative, and hands-on learning opportunities — making Art & Design a crucial part of their development and self-expression.
About the Role
As our Art & Design Teacher, you’ll deliver engaging, inclusive, and imaginative lessons that encourage pupils to explore their ideas, experiment with materials, and celebrate their individuality. You’ll plan and deliver a curriculum that balances creative freedom with key skills development, helping each learner grow in confidence and ability.
You’ll:
Design and deliver inspiring Art & Design lessons across a range of mediums
Encourage self-expression while developing pupils’ technical and creative skills
Adapt teaching to meet individual learning needs and abilities
Create a positive, inclusive classroom environment where students feel valued
Maintain accurate records of progress, assessment, and achievement
Support pupils in preparing for accredited qualifications where appropriate
Collaborate with the wider teaching team to contribute to whole-school creativity and enrichment
Who We’re Looking For
You’re an innovative, passionate teacher with the vision and empathy to help every pupil succeed. You bring energy, patience, and positivity to your classroom — and you’re ready to use art as a tool for connection, growth, and self-belief.
You will have:
QTLS or QTS (Qualified Teacher Learning and Skills / Qualified Teacher Status)
Experience teaching Art & Design
A passion for inclusive, student-centred education
Excellent communication and classroom management skills
Experience within a SEN or alternative provision (desirable but not essential)
If you’re ready to inspire the next generation of artists and designers while helping young people rediscover a love of learning, we’d love to hear from you.
