English Teacher

The Bablake and King Henry VIII schools have proudly served Coventry and the wider region for over 1,150 years combined. Throughout our history our schools have thrived by adapting to circumstances while staying true to our mission to provide a first-class, affordable independent education for the children of Coventry and beyond. The creation of the new Bablake King Henry School is the next chapter in that proud history. By creating dedicated age-specific sites under a single leadership we will provide more choice and opportunity to every child. The transition to a single school with our senior site at Bablake and our prep site at King Henry VIII is planned to happen over two academic years starting in September 2021.

We are looking to appoint a teacher of English, with the ability to teach pupils throughout the school, from Year 7 to Year 13.  The ability to teach  English Language to A level would be a distinct advantage. You will be based on our Bablake site but may be required to work from our King Henry’s site depending on timetable requirements. 

A genuine passion for teaching English and a commitment to a full and inclusive co-curricular programme are essential.

Applications are welcome to this full-time permanent post from experienced teachers and NQT. Regardless of your experience level, you will have a strong degree of expertise in English, be empathetic, a real energiser and keen to share your enthusiasm for the subject and for teaching

Appointment salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.
