Do you want to work at an ambitious school with bright, well behaved and engaged learners? Are you interested in helping students to gain a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them? An exciting opportunity has arisen for a passionate and talented teacher to play a key role in shaping the curriculum of our outstanding, multi-faith school. This role would suit a teacher looking to make their first steps into leadership.

Unique features of this role are:

  • To support the next phase of development the Governors are seeking to appoint a bright, enthusiastic and creative classroom teacher with experience in EYFS, KS1 or KS2.

  • A bespoke CPD package relevant to the successful candidate's career stage


  • Nishkam School West London is a flagship school for our Trust, offering all-through provision on an expansive 11-acre green site. Our students are bright, diligent and well mannered. Opportunities like these are few and far between and will interest those with creative minds and high aspirations, seeking to inspire a new generation of children through a virtues-led, multi-faith curriculum. The journey will be one of leading your classes to excellence as the school grows to capacity, which will be immensely rewarding for the right individual.

    Background: Nishkam School West London is an innovative, state of the art, all-through 4-19 school. Nishkam's outstanding primary school opened in 2013 and the secondary opened in September 2018. The school is part of a highly successful Multi-Academy Trust (5 schools, 2 nurseries; 1 vocational college in Kenya).

    As a teacher at Nishkam School West London, you will work in a pioneering group, Nishkam School Trust (NST). NST is one of the first multi-academy free school trusts in the UK. The Trust has opened two free schools in Birmingham (a primary in 2011 and a secondary in 2012), both of which are judged Ofsted Outstanding, and a third, a primary free school in Wolverhampton. The Trust continues to expand and has recently welcomed another primary school in Derby into the Nishkam family. We are looking for a highly committed and innovative leader to work in close collaboration with other teachers in both the secondary and primary phases across the Trust.

    NST has developed an inclusive, virtues-led, multi-faith educational approach that nurtures pupils of all faiths and those of no particular faith. The Nishkam ethos is to help grow a selfless mindset, aspiring to excellence as well as going beyond ourselves to serve others, to create supportive communities and to realise our true potential. This pervades every aspect of the school.

    The Role

    The role will commence in Autumn Term 2024 or Spring 2025. You will:
  • have the rare opportunity to work collaboratively with secondary colleagues

  • have a strong voice in shaping the everyday practice of the school as we develop and embed our ethos and routines, especially in learning and teaching

  • have the opportunity to share your expertise with other subject teachers across the Trust

  • be part of a global community of charitable initiatives.


  • This is an exceptional opportunity to work within a vibrant atmosphere and a supportive setting. Our school is a welcoming space for students of faith and non-faith. This is also true of our staff body.

    The Environment

    The school is based in 11 acres of green space in an impressive purpose-built single facility housing the all-through school.

    We will offer you:
  • a robust staff induction programme

  • a very warm, welcoming and talented team

  • hardworking and dedicated colleagues who are prepared to give selflessly for the benefit of the pupils

  • supportive parents, carers and community

  • a committed and fully involved Governing Body and Board of Directors

  • a state-of-the-art learning environment

  • wide-ranging opportunities for professional development

  • terms and conditions similar to other academies and schools

  • a well-resourced learning environment

  • a strong commitment to staff wellbeing
