Job description

CORE PURPOSE

We are seeking an articulate, passionate English Teacher to deliver high-quality English Language and English Literature instruction across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, with opportunities to teach A-Level English Literature or Language at Key Stage 5. The successful candidate will foster a deep appreciation for literature, critical thinking, and written expression, driving excellent academic progress and literacy across all pupil cohorts.

THE SCHOOL

Located within a well-regarded East London community, this high-achieving secondary school combines academic ambition with a culturally rich, inclusive ethos. The school boasts modern humanities facilities, a fully stocked media library, and well-equipped digital learning spaces. Operating within a collaborative English department, teachers benefit from centralized unit planning, standardized marking moderation, and dedicated literacy intervention specialists. Supported by a clear, consistent approach to behaviour management, the environment allows teachers to focus on engaging textual study, creative writing, and high-level analytical discussion.

KEY TASKS & DAILY OPERATIONS

  • Curriculum Delivery: Plan and deliver engaging, rigorous English Language and Literature lessons across Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4, fostering analytical depth and creative confidence.

  • Examination Preparation: Prepare students for GCSE examinations, embedding key textual knowledge, essay structures, and contextual analysis.

  • Literacy & Reading Development: Champion whole-school literacy initiatives, promoting wider reading habits and targeted vocabulary acquisition.

  • Assessment & Tracking: Conduct regular formative and summative assessments, utilizing departmental data tools to track pupil progress and implement timely interventions.

  • Pastoral Duties: Serve as a dedicated Form Tutor, supporting students' academic and personal development while building strong relationships with parents and guardians.

PROFILE REQUIREMENTS

  • Qualifications: Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a degree in English Literature, English Language, Creative Writing, or a closely related discipline.

  • Experience: Open to experienced teachers with a strong track record of GCSE results, as well as Early Career Teachers (ECTs) looking for a structured, supportive induction framework.

  • Skills: Strong literary subject knowledge, excellent classroom presence, refined communication skills, and a passion for developing critical thinking through texts.

REGIONAL CONTEXT

  • Local Area & Community: Based in the outer London borough of Redbridge, the school serves an ambitious, diverse, and vibrant suburban community. Known for its abundance of green spaces—including Hainault Forest Country Park and Valentine's Park—the borough combines excellent residential areas, historic landmarks, and thriving commercial hubs such as Ilford and Wanstead.

  • Transport & Commuting: Redbridge enjoys exceptional transport connectivity, situated with direct road access via the A12, A406 (North Circular), and M11 motorway. Public transit options are outstanding, featuring Central Line tube stations (Redbridge, Wanstead, Gants Hill, Barkingside) and Elizabeth line services via Ilford and Seven Kings, providing rapid routes into Central London, Stratford, and Essex.
