Secondary School Teacher (Paid to Scale)

Sometimes it starts with a thought.

A school closer to home. Better opportunities for progression. A stronger department. More support from leadership. Or simply a feeling that you're ready for a new challenge.

If you've found yourself thinking about what the next step in your teaching career might look like, now could be the perfect time to explore your options.

At Quokka Education, we work with secondary schools across Basingstoke, Tadley, Hook, Chineham, Overton, Whitchurch and the surrounding Hampshire area, helping teachers find opportunities where they can make an impact and continue to grow professionally.

We are currently supporting schools with:

• Permanent teaching positions for September 2026
• Long-term teaching opportunities that can lead to permanent roles
• Vacancies across a broad range of secondary subject specialisms

Every teacher is different.

Some are looking for leadership opportunities. Others want a better work-life balance, a more supportive environment or the chance to work in a school that aligns with their values.

That's why we focus on understanding what's important to you before discussing potential opportunities.

Our aim isn't to find you just any role - it's to help you find the right one.

• Access a variety of teaching opportunities across Basingstoke and the surrounding areas
• Receive confidential introductions to local schools
• Gain valuable insight into school environments and leadership teams
• Benefit from CV support, interview preparation and career advice
• Enjoy a straightforward, personalised recruitment experience

• We take time to understand your goals
• We offer honest advice and realistic guidance
• We have strong relationships with local schools
• We support you throughout the entire process
• We focus on long-term success, not quick placements

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

Many teachers speak to us months before they decide whether to make a move.

A conversation now can help you understand what's available, what schools are looking for, and whether there could be an opportunity that's a better fit for your future.

No pressure. No expectations. Just professional advice and access to opportunities across Basingstoke and the wider Hampshire area.
