About the Role -

We are looking to appoint a dedicated and inspirational English Teacher to take responsibility for delivering English within a small, alternative provision environment. This is a rare opportunity for an experienced teacher to focus on high-quality teaching and learning, supported by small class sizes and a collaborative team.

The role will involve delivering both AQA GCSE English Language and English Literature to groups of pupils who benefit from a personalised, tailored approach. You will be working as the sole English specialist on site, supported by a Trust-wide network of English teachers who share resources, expertise and best practice.

A central part of the role will be to support literacy, reading, and oracy development across the school. As part of this, you will receive full training in Read Write Inc. and work alongside experienced primary colleagues to improve pupils’ fluency and comprehension. This ensures every child can access learning, regardless of prior barriers.

This position offers you the chance to make a profound difference in the lives of pupils who may have struggled in mainstream education, within a supportive and professionally rewarding setting.

Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and strong subject knowledge in English.

Experience teaching across KS2-KS4, including GCSE English Language and Literature.

A compassionate, consistent and determined approach to supporting pupils with additional needs or those who have lost confidence in learning.

The ability to identify barriers to learning and adapt strategies to help every pupil succeed.

A commitment to personalised teaching and evidence-informed practice.

An openness to continuous professional development, particularly in literacy intervention and alternative provision.

Strong classroom management skills that foster a safe, nurturing and respectful learning environment.

This role is suited to both experienced practitioners and those seeking to grow within a highly supportive environment.

What You’ll Gain

By joining this provision, you will benefit from:

• Small class sizes and strong pupil support, enabling you to focus on teaching.
• Specialist training in literacy development (including Read Write Inc.).
• Opportunities to collaborate with a network of 11 English teachers across the wider Trust.
• Professional development and coaching designed to help you grow as a practitioner.
• A strong sense of community, where staff wellbeing and collaboration are central.

Why This Role

This role is ideal for a teacher who wants to make a real, lasting impact in the lives of young people who may have struggled in mainstream settings. You’ll be part of a highly successful trust that values innovation, high standards, and compassion.

If you want to:

• Teach English in a setting where pupils are valued as individuals.
