Teacher of English - September 2026 Opportunities

We are now at the time of year where schools are looking to fill and complete their September staffing teams.

Whether you're finishing your ECT year, looking for a fresh start, or wanting a role that gives you more balance and flexibility, we've got schools ready to welcome you.

Full‑time and part‑time opportunities are available, with roles to suit different teaching styles, experience levels, and career goals.

• ECTs seeking supportive schools where they can find their feet
• Experienced English teachers
• Subject specialists who love teaching English
• Flexible educators wanting part‑time or supply options that work around life
• Teachers looking to move into SEN or alternative provision settings

You’ll be delivering engaging English lessons that build confidence, curiosity, and real understanding in the classroom. Depending on the role, this could include full teaching responsibilities such as planning, marking, and assessments, or more flexible cover opportunities where you can focus purely on teaching.

There’s plenty of variety too, from high‑performing secondary schools to specialist SEN settings where smaller wins make a huge difference.
