English Teacher - Wakefield - September

English Teacher – Wakefield
Location: Wakefield
Salary: Pay to scale
Start Date: September

Ready to make Shakespeare feel less… scary and a lot more exciting?

We’re working with a welcoming secondary school in Wakefield that’s on the lookout for an English Teacher who can bring texts to life, spark debate, and maybe even get a class arguing passionately about poetry (yes, really).

Whether you’re an experienced teacher who knows your way around a busy classroom, or an ECT finding your feet, this one’s got the support and structure to help you thrive.

✨ What’s the vibe?

Think supportive leadership, a well-run department, and students who actually want to learn (most days, we’re being honest here ).

You’ll be joining a team that shares resources, backs each other up, and knows that great teaching doesn’t happen in isolation.

‍ What you’ll be doing:

• Teaching English across KS3 and KS4
• Bringing literature and language to life in a way that sticks
• Creating a classroom where students feel confident to speak up
• Working alongside a collaborative and down-to-earth department

What we’re looking for:

• UK QTS (or working towards it)
• A passion for English that’s genuinely infectious
• Strong classroom presence, with a calm and confident approach
• Someone who cares about progress, not perfection

Why this role stands out:

• Supportive SLT who actually support
• Shared planning and reduced workload where possible
• A school that respects your time and your craft
• Opportunities to grow, whether you’re just starting out or ready for your next step

What you’ll get with Protocol Education:

• Weekly PAYE pay, no umbrella faff
• FREE access to our CPD Academy
• A consultant who actually listens (and gets things done)
• Roles that match your style, not just your CV

Fancy it?
