They will inspire students to appreciate the richness and diversity of the English language. You will be responsible for teaching English to at least GCSE Level, A Level and potentially ideally Degree level and act as a role model and work with other teaching staff to develop their technical teaching skills.

Students join from a variety of education areas having had varying education experiences. These include, secondary education, home educated or through adult education where they have not achieved the basic level of a Grade C or Grade 4/5 English as a standard qualification. Some require English qualifications to progress to the next level of education whilst others require the qualification to enable them to progress in their work life or chosen career. Some may have no interest or have lost interest in the subject, but need the qualification. As part of their study programmes, it is essential they undertake their English qualifications and are seeking your expertise to help them to achieve their goals and career aspirations.

Candidates must have proven successful experience of teaching KS4/ KS5 and above with outstanding value-added outcomes within public or private sector, alongside experience enabling students to achieve higher grades.
