English Teacher

Mayesbrook Park School provides alternative provision for secondary school students aged 11-16 in Barking and Dagenham. There are three campuses and this post is based at our Mayesbrook Park campus which is our PRU (Pupil Referral Unit).  There are up to 70 students on site, including permanently excluded students, KS3 pupils on short on track programmes and pupils on 6 Day+ fixed term exclusions. The pupil age profile is Key Stage 3/4 and covers a wide ability range.  Many of our students have special educational needs (SEND), mainly SEMH (social, emotional and mental health) and several have low literacy levels. Most long-term students are in Years 10 and 11 and follow a GCSE led curriculum, including AQA GCSE (8700) English language and, in some cases, AQA GCSE (8702) English literature. We also offer AQA ‘Step up’ to English for students working below or towards GCSE.

We are looking for a well-organised and enthusiastic English teacher to teach KS3 and KS4. This is an excellent and rewarding opportunity for a teacher who has the patience, dedication and resilience to offer our young people a second chance to engage in education.

As the only English teacher based at the Mayesbrook Park Campus you will be supported by our strong and supportive English subject leader and by the whole school English team. You will be supported to thoroughly plan and teach interesting and challenging lessons as well as differentiate material to ameliorate challenges and enable all our students to reach their potential. This role will give you an opportunity to make a real difference to young people’s lives and provide immense job satisfaction.  You will receive constant, committed and consistent support from our leadership team and an excellent staff development programme. We also maintain strong links with local school English departments. 

Visits to the Campus are encouraged and can be arranged by contacting Mandy Little  - telephone 020 8270 6734 or Mlittle@mayesbrookparkschool.org.uk
