What can a PSHE and Citizenship teacher expect in Peterborough?

Relationships, Sex and Health Education has been compulsory since 2020, and Peterborough schools put real effort into PSHE. Lessons cover mental health, healthy relationships, online safety, drugs and alcohol, money management and careers.

Peterborough's diverse, fast-growing population makes PSHE and Citizenship especially important. Lessons on identity, community, democracy and the law help students understand their rights and responsibilities and respect those of others. Some schools also offer GCSE Citizenship Studies.

In many schools PSHE is taught by a small specialist team, while in others it is spread across tutors. Specialists who can plan engaging, age-appropriate lessons and handle sensitive topics confidently are highly valued, and they often support pastoral and safeguarding teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and teach PSHE, RSHE and Citizenship lessons across KS3 and KS4
• Handle sensitive topics with care, following the school's policies
• Teach GCSE Citizenship Studies where offered
• Support careers education, enrichment days and visiting speakers
• Work closely with pastoral and safeguarding teams
• Contribute to the school's personal development and SMSC provision

Who we're looking for

• Qualified teachers (QTS or QTLS) with experience of PSHE, RSHE or Citizenship
• Early Career Teachers (ECTs) looking for their first post or induction placement
• Experienced teachers returning to the profession or looking for flexible supply work
• Overseas-trained teachers with the right to work in the UK
• Teachers of RE, Sociology or Psychology who enjoy teaching PSHE

Frequently asked questions

Is PSHE a specialist role in Peterborough schools?
It varies. Some schools have specialist PSHE teams, while others share it across form tutors. We place teachers in both types of role.

Do I need safeguarding training?
All our teachers complete safeguarding checks. PSHE teachers should be confident following safeguarding procedures, as sensitive disclosures can happen in lessons.

Is GCSE Citizenship Studies taught locally?
Some schools offer it as a GCSE option, and Citizenship is part of the curriculum in all maintained schools at KS3 and KS4.

How quickly can I start?
Once your registration and safeguarding checks are complete, many teachers start within days.
