Are you ready to inspire the next generation of writers, critics, and deep thinkers?

Can you bridge the gap between the classic prose of Dickens and the contemporary voices of modern poetry, helping students find their own unique perspective in the process?

We are seeking a passionate English Teacher to join a vibrant Secondary School serving the Newport and Saffron Walden area. This is a full-time, long-term opportunity for a specialist who can deliver both English Language and Literature across Key Stages 3 and 4. We want a teacher who doesn t just teach for the exam, but fosters a lifelong love for the written word.

• Literary Exploration: Lead students through an analytical journey of diverse texts, from Shakespearean drama to 21st-century dystopian fiction.
• Creative Expression: Facilitate workshops that sharpen students  creative writing skills, focusing on narrative structure, evocative imagery, and persuasive rhetoric.
• Critical Analysis: Teach students how to deconstruct complex themes, character motivations, and linguistic devices to build sophisticated essays.
• Exam Readiness: Guide Year 11 cohorts through the rigors of GCSE English Language and Literature, using targeted feedback to turn "good" analysis into "outstanding" critical insight.
• Oracy & Debate: Create a classroom environment where every student feels confident participating in high-level discussions, debates, and presentations.
• Textual Contextualisation: Help students understand how historical and social contexts influence the literature they read, bringing the pages to life.

• Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) or QTLS is mandatory.
• A relevant degree in English Literature, English Language, or a closely related field.
• Proven experience teaching the UK English curriculum at the Secondary level.
• Excellent communication skills and a talent for making complex narratives accessible and engaging.
• An enhanced Child DBS on the Update Service (or a willingness to process a new one).

• Elite Pay Rates: Weekly pay ranging from £170 to £240 via PAYE, reflecting your status as a qualified specialist.
• Supportive Environment: Work in a school that values the Arts and Humanities as a cornerstone of a well-rounded education.
• Professional Growth: Access our premium CPD platform for training in the latest pedagogical research and literacy strategies.
• Local Expertise: Benefit from a consultant (Neeraj) who is a specialist in the Essex/Cambridgeshire border education market.
• Referral Bonus: Earn £300 for every qualified teacher you refer to the Randstad family.
