Date posted : 18 November 2021

If you’re looking to make the next step in your teaching career, Birmingham might be your perfect destination. One of Britain’s largest cities, Birmingham is teeming with teaching opportunities. The city boasts a vibrant culture and excellent accessibility from other parts of Britain, but those aren’t the only areas where Birmingham excels. Here are just a few reasons why a teaching job in Birmingham could change your life. 

A great environment to further your teaching career

Birmingham is a hub of education where teachers can take the next big step in their careers. Boasting the title of the youngest city in Europe, under-25s account for approximately 40% of Birmingham’s population. This vibrant city is also home to over 400 schools and 5 universities, all within an hour of the centre.

Birmingham has a high percentage of ‘outstanding’ Ofsted rated schools, which would serve as excellent places in which to teach and grow your career. The city’s diverse population of pupils and varied school types offer teachers a dynamic and stimulating experience with a host of rewarding challenges for ambitious individuals.

Birmingham’s schools are backed up by the brilliant Birmingham Education Partnership (BEP), which has provided dedicated support to schools across the city since 2013. Led by headteachers and a former education secretary, the BEP builds relationships between schools and businesses so that they can help students find their feet in the working world.

All of Birmingham’s education initiatives contribute to a thriving environment for teachers to further their career whilst also enriching the lives of hundreds of students.

Why move to Birmingham?

Birmingham is one of Europe’s biggest cities. Its population of over one million people provides a vibrant atmosphere to go along with its rich culture.

Particularly popular with young professionals, Birmingham offers a strong economy, superb job prospects and plenty of culture and history. A comprehensive public transport system makes travelling around Birmingham as simple as ever and easy access to other major cities makes it an ideal location. With modest living costs and affordable property prices, Birmingham is a big city where you can experience a higher standard of living and achieve all your teaching goals.

Life in Birmingham

In recent years, Birmingham’s diverse population and proliferation of museums, libraries and theatres has made it a cultural hub. Although a modern city, Birmingham is draped in history and is the place to be if you’re interested in learning more about the world.
