We are seeking an exceptional English Teacher to join our selective Grammar School. This role involves teaching academically driven students across Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4, and potentially Key Stage 5. You will be responsible for fostering a deep intellectual curiosity for the English language and its greatest literary achievements, from Shakespearean tragedy to contemporary post-colonial prose. The Department You will join a high-performing faculty of subject specialists who value scholarly debate and the rigorous interrogation of texts. The department is exceptionally well-resourced, featuring a dedicated English library, digital archives of literary criticism, and a wealth of shared resources for A-Level and GCSE. We prioritize a curriculum that balances the traditional canon with diverse modern voices, ensuring students develop a sophisticated and global perspective. The school maintains strong links with local universities and the Manchester Literature Festival to provide students with enrichment opportunities beyond the classroom. Core Responsibilities Planning and delivering intellectually stimulating lessons that challenge students to analyze language, form, and structure with precision. Teaching a wide range of texts, including poetry, drama, and non-fiction, while developing students' ability to craft sophisticated, evidence-based arguments. Preparing students for high-attainment at GCSE and A-Level, with a specific focus on mastering the nuances of literary theory and advanced rhetoric. Facilitating high-level classroom discussions that encourage students to think critically about historical context and authorial intent. Supporting the wider literacy of the school, including the promotion of creative writing and public speaking through extracurricular clubs. The Successful Candidate We are looking for a scholar-teacher who is passionate about the power of the written word. Requirements include: Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a high-quality degree in English Literature or English Language. A proven track record of achieving excellent results with high-ability students at Key Stage 4 and 5. Extensive subject knowledge, including a deep familiarity with a variety of literary eras and critical perspectives. Excellent communication skills and the ability to inspire a genuine love for reading and analytical thinking. Why Join Us? The opportunity to work with motivated, high-achieving pupils in an environment where academic excellence is celebrated. A bespoke professional development program focused on subject-specialism and potential leadership pathways. A professional and collaborative staff culture that values intellectual autonomy and manageable workloads. Located in a vibrant, world-class city with unparalleled cultural amenities and a legendary literary scene.
