English Teacher:
Trade the "Grind" for Impact

Location: Tamworth Area

Salary: £32,433 - £42,352 (DOE)

Focus: KS3 - KS5 / SEMH & Trauma-Informed Practice

Feeling like a cog in a machine? If you're tired of managing 30+ students at a time and spending your evenings marking endless stacks of papers, it's time to change the scenery.

We are looking for a passionate English Specialist to join a specialised, small-scale school in Tamworth. This role is designed for the teacher who loves their subject but wants to spend more time teaching and less time policing.

In a mainstream setting, students with complex needs can often fall through the cracks. Here, those students are your entire focus. You will work with small groups (often 1-to-1 or 2-to-1) where you can actually see the "lightbulb moment" happen.

• No More "One Size Fits All": Forget rigid schemes of work. You have the autonomy to make English relevant to students who have struggled with traditional education.
• A New Skillset: You will be fully trained in Trauma-Informed Practice and the PACE model
  , skills that are becoming the "gold standard" in modern education.
• Real Work-Life Balance: Smaller cohorts mean a significantly reduced marking load and more time for creative lesson planning during the school day.

• Building Bridges: Using English as a tool to build confidence, from basic literacy to GCSE success.
• Collaborating: Working alongside therapists and support staff to provide a holistic "wrap-around" education.
• Mentoring: Acting as a stable, positive role model for young people with ADHD, Autism, and emotional challenges.

• The Subject Enthusiast: You hold QTS and genuinely love English, but you're ready to apply it in a more meaningful, human way.
• The Career Changer: Whether you're an ECT looking for a unique start or a veteran teacher looking to escape the "exam factory" pressure.
• The Problem Solver: You're patient, resilient, and you don't take a student's "bad day" personally.

• Market-Leading Pay: A salary scale that rewards your specialist expertise.
• Health & Wellbeing: A culture that actually values staff mental health, including enhanced maternity/pension benefits.
• Career Transformation: Transition into the SEN sector, one of the fastest-growing and most rewarding areas of education.
