Job description

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

If you're an English teacher who's ready to help students find their voice, sharpen their thinking, and gain the qualifications they need to move forward - this could be the role for you.
