English Teacher Opportunities to teach in Further Education Northampton
September 2025 start Full-time Where language meets life

Are you an English teacher who believes that words still matter - and that the ability to read, write, question, and communicate is one of the most powerful tools we can give young people?

Tradewind Recruitment is proud to be working with a handful of dynamic and inclusive colleges in Northampton, seeking talented English Teachers to join their teams this September. We have a number of fantastic opportunities to teach motivated post-16 learners - from GCSE resits to A-Level English - in a setting that values real-world learning and student growth beyond the exam.

Whether you're an experienced FE practitioner or a secondary English teacher ready for something new, if you love your subject and know how to bring it to life, we want to hear from you.

What you'll be doing:

• Delivering engaging English lessons to 16-19-year-olds - including GCSE English Language and/or A-Level Literature
• Supporting students to develop confidence in reading, writing, and critical thinking
• Building strong, respectful relationships with learners from diverse backgrounds
• Playing a key role in helping students achieve their next steps - whether that's university, apprenticeships, or employment

This role could be ideal if you:

• Hold QTS, QTLS, or equivalent and have experience teaching English (GCSE and/or A-Level)
• Understand the challenges and rewards of post-16 education
• Believe in second chances and know how to support students who may not have thrived in school
• Bring creativity, structure, and a genuine love of language to your teaching

What we offer:

• A supportive college environment with a strong sense of community and purpose
• Competitive pay partnered with ongoing CPD opportunities through our partnership with the National College
• A dedicated consultant who will listen to what you want and match you with the right role
• The chance to make a real difference in the lives of young adults
