Are you a passionate and dedicated English specialist ready to inspire the next generation of readers, writers, and critical thinkers? We are looking for an enthusiastic Teacher of English to join a welcoming and forward-thinking secondary school located in Leeds.

This large, inclusive 11-16 secondary school is part of a respected multi-academy trust known for its focus on values-driven education and community engagement. The school has a strong sense of purpose and prides itself on providing a safe, supportive environment where students are encouraged to achieve their full potential—academically, socially, and personally.

As a Teacher of English, you will play a key part in delivering a rich and engaging curriculum across Key Stages 3 and 4. You'll be instrumental in nurturing a love for language and literature, while also supporting students to develop analytical skills and self-expression.

• Work collaboratively with colleagues across the school to promote high standards of teaching and learning.
• Support the individual needs of students, including those with SEND or EAL, to help them achieve their full potential.
• Participate in school-wide activities, parent communication, and professional development.

What We’re Looking For

• A qualified teacher (QTS or equivalent) with a degree in English or a closely related discipline.
• A reflective practitioner with strong subject knowledge and a passion for the English curriculum.
• Excellent classroom management skills and a commitment to fostering a positive learning culture.
