We are recruiting for an enthusiastic and professional English teacher to join our team. We are looking for someone who is dedicated to enabling our pupils to achieve their full potential both inside and outside the classroom. Our department is supportive and committed to collaborative working and professional development.

Northampton International Academy is a local school with a global vision and this is at the very core of our curriculum offer. Every school in the East Midlands Academy Trust (EMAT) is committed to providing the highest standard of education so that all children are supported to be the best that they can be. This will be achieved by the delivery of a well‑planned and highly effective curriculum which is driven by our values.

We believe in the transformational power of education. Transformation is in the very fabric of our building, having been transformed from the derelict and disused Royal Mail sorting office into a state‑of‑the‑art educational facility.

We offer a broad and balanced curriculum, with key stage 3 learners accessing specialist facilities on a rotational basis. In addition to our subject‑based curriculum, our character education has been introduced throughout our all‑through school as its DNA from reception through to Year 13. This character curriculum helps to prepare children for future learning and their adult lives. Focusing on the characteristics of Responsibility, Collaboration, Respect, Care, Excellence and Aspiration, our DNA of NIA complements our subject curriculum and our House system.

We are an organisation that recognises and values its diverse workforce. Join us at EMAT to be part of a team that values innovation, inclusivity, and impact. As a school, we are still growing and we have a range of exciting opportunities across the school including positions with additional responsibilities. One of those opportunities is to be part of the Combined Cadet Force with the Navy which now has a unit within NIA.

EMAT is an exciting, innovative, and growing organisation where we strive to do things differently, aligned with our core values and purpose: that every child deserves to be the best they can be. Our Trust was incorporated in July 2012 to establish, maintain, manage, and develop academies and free schools as world‑class centres of excellence. We are a collaborative partnership that currently includes an all‑through school in Northampton, a secondary school in Oundle, and five primary schools in Northamptonshire and Milton Keynes.
