  • Has a passion for English and literature
  • Can engage and motivate learners across KS3 and KS4
  • Builds positive relationships with students
  • Maintains high standards and expectations
  • Wants to make a genuine difference

In return:

  • A supportive working environment
  • Excellent department support
  • Opportunity to establish yourself within a successful school
  • Potential for future opportunities beyond the initial contract
