Job description

Are you an English Teacher who believes in the power of words to change lives?
Do you have the resilience, passion, and creativity to engage students who’ve struggled in mainstream education?
Smart Education is currently seeking a dedicated and inspiring English Teacher to join a forward-thinking and nurturing alternative provision in the Middlesbrough area. This unique role offers the opportunity to work with students aged 11-16 who face a variety of challenges, including Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD), and Behavioural, Emotional and Social Difficulties (BESD).
As an English Teacher in this specialist setting, you'll be more than just an educator-you’ll be a mentor, motivator, and a consistent presence in the lives of young people who need it most. Your lessons won’t just focus on grammar and literature-they’ll build confidence, inspire creativity, and provide students with tools they can use far beyond the classroom.
This is your chance to step into a role where every lesson has the potential to reshape a future. If you're looking for a meaningful teaching opportunity where your efforts can have a direct and lasting impact-this is it. Join a team that values innovation, empathy, and unwavering support for every learner.
Your Role Will Include:
• Delivering engaging, tailored English lessons that spark curiosity and build confidence
• Creating a safe, structured, and inclusive learning environment
• Differentiating content to meet diverse learning needs and abilities
• Working closely with SENCOs, Teaching Assistants, and pastoral teams to develop individual support strategies
• Supporting emotional regulation and encouraging positive behaviour
What We’re Looking For:
• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS/QTLS) or equivalent
• Experience working with students with additional needs, ideally in an SEN, PRU or alternative provision
• A patient, creative, and adaptable approach to teaching
• Excellent classroom and behaviour management skills
• A valid Enhanced DBS (Child or Child & Adult Workforce), or willingness to obtain one
• A genuine passion for making English accessible, exciting, and empowering
What You’ll Get in Return:
• Competitive weekly pay
• Ongoing CPD and access to free training
• Holiday pay entitlement
• A supportive, specialist consultant who understands your needs
• On-site parking and good transport connections
