Job Summary: We are looking for a dynamic individual to join our collaborative English department as a Teacher of English.

Students at The Leigh UTC are proud to attend a school that is realising its vision of ‘developing STEM professionals for the future global market’ (Ofsted, 2022).

Starting from September 2025, or sooner depending on the successful candidate’s availability, the Teacher of English will play a crucial role in shaping our students' educational journey. You will deliver engaging lessons that foster a love for reading, writing, and critical thinking, inspiring students to reach their full potential and develop essential communication skills. Candidates should have high expectations, strong subject knowledge, resilience, compassion, and a desire to learn and grow.

At The Leigh UTC, we value our team ethos, making this a great opportunity for an innovative and collaborative teacher in a supportive environment.

We’d like to hear from you if you are:

• An excellent teacher passionate about learning with strong subject knowledge;
• An advocate for the importance of English education;
• Experienced in teaching with a track record of results, or an Early Career Teacher (ECT);
• Collaborative and able to build strong professional relationships;
• Motivational and inspiring to students and staff;
• Energetic with a ‘can-do’ attitude;
• Confident with strong career aspirations;
• Committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of everyone at the Academy.

We aim to develop learners who are confident, thoughtful readers, writers, and speakers, interested and independent thinkers. Despite being a STEM-focused provision, our students value English for its relevance to their studies and future careers.

This is a permanent, full-time position with MPS/UPS + London Fringe allowance based on experience.

The Leigh UTC welcomes pre-application visits or phone calls. To discuss the role, contact Linda Evans at [e-mail].
