A recruitment and retention allowance will be paid in addition to your base salary for any successful candidate. This role is for either an Easter or September 2019 start.

We are therefore seeking to appoint a dynamic, enthusiastic and influential Teacher of English to teach across Key Stages 3, 4 and potentially Key Stage 5.

What we can offer you:

• Excellent facilities and resources.
• Access to an outstanding professional development programme including in-house MA.
• A chance to become part of one of the largest groups of academies in the country.
• Caring, dedicated and friendly students who want to learn and fulfil their potential.
• Colleagues who are supportive, friendly and who are committed to each other’s professional development.
• Opportunities to be creative and to inspire your students.

In return, we are looking for:

• An experienced teacher, displaying at a minimum of ‘Good’ standard teaching or a less experienced teacher with the potential to be consistently ‘Good’ to ‘Outstanding’ within a short timeframe.
• Someone who shares our moral purpose of ensuring that all of our young people receive the best education possible in a supportive environment from people who care about them.
• Someone who is passionate about English and who will inspire our students to be so as well.

If you possess these qualities and share the Academy’s vision, then we will be delighted to hear from you. Applications are welcome from both experienced Teachers and NQT’s. Please see the Job Description and Person Specification for further information.
