About the Role

Are you a lover of language, a master of metaphor, and a champion of creativity? Do you believe words can change the world — or at least make a few teenagers think twice before saying “I don’t get it”?

We’re looking for an inspiring, fun, and passionate English Teacher to join our lively secondary school in Tower Hamlets. You’ll spark curiosity, build confidence, and help our students fall in love with reading, writing, and everything in between.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Teaching engaging and imaginative English lessons across KS3–KS4.
• Bringing texts to life — from Shakespeare to spoken word.
• Encouraging students to think deeply, write brilliantly, and communicate boldly.
• Creating a classroom that buzzes with creativity, laughter, and learning.
• Being part of a supportive, collaborative English department that genuinely loves what it does (and always has biscuits).

What We’re Looking For

• A qualified English teacher (QTS or equivalent).
• Someone friendly, bubbly, and full of energy.
• A team player who can inspire both students and colleagues.
• A love of literature and language — and the ability to make it fun.
• Experience teaching English in secondary schools (ECTs warmly encouraged to apply!).

Why You’ll Love Working Here

• A diverse, vibrant, and welcoming school community in the heart of Tower Hamlets.
• Students who are bright, funny, and full of personality.
• Fantastic professional development and career progression opportunities.
• A supportive leadership team that values creativity and individuality.
• Modern facilities, great transport links, and a real community spirit.
