English Teacher

Looking for your next English role, but want something that actually feels worthwhile? Well-run, purposeful, and properly supportive?

We’re working with a forward-thinking secondary school looking for a full-time English Teacher to join them after half term on a maternity cover basis. It’s five days a week, full teaching responsibility, and the chance to step into a department that genuinely values subject knowledge, curiosity, and great classroom practice.

This is a school where learning matters. The curriculum is knowledge-rich and carefully sequenced to stretch and engage students of all abilities. Lessons aren’t about ticking boxes or chasing quick wins. They’re about developing sharp thinkers, confident communicators, and young people who are ready for life beyond the classroom.

Students are encouraged to challenge themselves and take pride in their work. Expectations around behaviour are clear and consistent, meaning you can focus on what you do best, delivering high-quality English lessons that make a difference.

Pastoral care is strong too. Staff work closely with families, attendance is taken seriously, and student wellbeing sits at the centre of school life. Success here isn’t just measured in grades, it’s seen in resilience, confidence, and character.

Leadership are committed to continuous improvement. They invest in staff development, reflect honestly on practice, and aren’t afraid to evolve. If you like being part of a school that’s always striving to get better, you’ll feel right at home.

What they’re looking for:

• UK QTS is essential

• Proven UK classroom experience

• Strong subject knowledge across KS3 and KS4

• Confident, consistent behaviour management

• A genuine passion for English and student progress
