Teacher of English - part-time/full-time to cover maternity leave

We are looking to appoint a part-time/full-time Teacher of English to cover maternity leave (0.70 FTE – full-time) from 1st January 2025. The role will be teaching English up to GCSE, with the possibility of teaching some Key Stage 3 Drama. This temporary post will not require teaching of A Level English. Please note on your application your FT preference.  

We welcome applications from talented individuals who will implement the school’s vision and work to develop the English Department. 

This role requires someone passionate to develop and promote literature and literacy inside and outside of the classroom and would be suitable for an experienced teacher or an ECT. 

The successful candidate will be an outstanding teacher, avouching the importance of outstanding literacy and the role of literature in the lives of young people. They will have experience of teaching from KS3 to GCSE level and a record of achieving outstanding results, with a commitment to the delivery of a high quality extra-curricular offer. 

This position is an exciting opportunity to work within a thriving department of dedicated teachers. Having recently moved into a multimillion-pound new building, including five English rooms, an English store and a purpose-built drama studio and extensively stocked library, the next stage of the school’s development will see an expansion of our extra-curricular and elective programmes, with English at the heart of this. English Literature and Film Studies are very popular subjects which many of our students study at A Level.  

The successful candidate will be offered a full programme of personal professional development and support as they continue in their career, alongside a comprehensive induction programme. 

We reserve the right to interview and appoint suitable candidates before the published closing date.
