We're working with a secondary school in the St Austell area that's looking for a passionate, confident English Teacher to join their team from September. The school has a supportive culture, strong leadership, and a clear focus on pupil progress and wellbeing - making it a fantastic place to teach and grow professionally.

Whether you're an experienced classroom teacher or an ECT looking to get stuck into your first post, this could be a brilliant opportunity to inspire young people and help them engage with language and literature in a meaningful way.

What the school is looking for:

• A qualified English Teacher (QTS or QTLS)

• Someone with strong subject knowledge and a creative, adaptable teaching style

• A teacher who can inspire confidence and engagement in both high achievers and reluctant readers

• Confident teaching across KS3 and KS4 (KS5 experience is a bonus but not essential)

• A calm, consistent presence in the classroom with strong behaviour management skills

You'll need:

• An enhanced DBS on the Update Service (or willingness to apply)

• Two recent references

• The right to work in the UK

• A genuine passion for English and for helping young people find their voice through reading and writing

In return, you'll get:

• A competitive daily rate and weekly pay through Tradewind

• A supportive department with a clear curriculum and planning in place

• Ongoing CPD and training opportunities

• The potential to secure a permanent contract

• A dedicated consultant who knows the school and local area

If you're ready for your next teaching role and want to work somewhere that values both academic progress and individual support - let's have a chat.
