NRC Secondary are looking to recruit an English Teacher

Salary grade: MPS/UPS + SEN 1 (£32,157 to £50,935 + £2,270)

Permanent, Teachers Terms and Conditions

To start September 2022 or January 2023

This is a fantastic opportunity for a dedicated and outstanding English teacher who is looking for a new challenge and has a flexible approach, to join a committed team at New River College. 

The post holder will need to be a confident and effective teacher who can deliver engaging and exciting lessons.  We are looking for a teacher who relishes a challenge, who wants to try new ideas and who genuinely wants to contribute to the lives of young people with drive and passion.   

Many of our pupils are below national age-related literacy and numeracy levels when they arrive.  Ability to engage pupils with social, emotional and mental health challenges is more important than the phase you are used to teaching so both primary and secondary trained teachers are encouraged to apply.  Experience of teaching a second subject would be beneficial, a willingness to do so is essential.

New River College comprises of three pupil referral units in Islington (primary, secondary and medical) for pupils with social, emotional and mental health challenges (SEMH).  We teach children and young people aged five to sixteen years old who have been permanently excluded or participate in our preventative programmes to address their behaviour, and children and young people with complex SEMH or medical needs. 

New River College is split across three sites so a willingness to teach on multiple sites is essential. 

Closing date: Midnight Tuesday 5th July 2022
